Story4.5 out of 5 stars 423
Eddie Huang was finally happy. Sort of. He'd written a best-selling book and was the star of a TV show that took him to far-flung places around the globe. His New York City restaurant was humming, his OKCupid hand was strong, and he'd even hung fresh Ralph Lauren curtains to create the illusion of a bedroom in the tiny apartment he shared with his younger brother, Evan, who ran their restaurant business. Then he fell in love - and everything fell apart.

Eddie Huang is the 30-year-old proprietor of Baohaus - the hot East Village hangout where foodies, stoners, and students come to stuff their faces with delicious Taiwanese street food late into the night - and one of the food world’s brightest and most controversial young stars. But before he created the perfect home for himself in a small patch of downtown New York, Eddie wandered the American wilderness looking for a place to call his own. Funny, raw, and moving, and told in an irrepressibly alive and original voice, Fresh Off the Boat recasts the immigrant’s story for the 21st century.

Theodora knows she can't keep her five beautiful daughters at home forever - they're too curious, too free spirited, too like their late father. And so, before each girl leaves the small house on the riverside at the foot of Mount Olympus, Theodora makes sure they know they are always welcome to return. A devoted and resilient mother, Theodora has lived through World War II, through the Nazi occupation of Greece, and through her husband's death, and now she endures the twenty-year-long silence of her daughters' absence.

Come with us to an Enchanted Place, a forest where Winnie-the-Pooh lived with Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga, and Little Roo. The stories are about Christopher Robin and these good companions having wonderful times getting in and out of trouble. It is all very exciting and, really, quite thrilling no matter how young or old you may be. It is painful to try and imagine what the world would be like without them.

Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone. Here are vanishing cats and smoky bars, lonely hearts and mysterious women, baseball and the Beatles, woven together to tell stories that speak to us all. Marked by the same wry humor that has defined his entire body of work, in this collection Murakami has crafted another contemporary classic.

Unique, Engaging, and Insightful
Listened to it back to back on my drive back from Los Angeles as the school year ended. Read it again couple days later. Eddie has a unique voice and perspective yet speaks on the emotions and vulnerability that we all feel one way or another. A great addition to his previous longer works.

Why do I feel like I just listened to a new age rom com?
Listening to this was a surprisingly refreshing funny little journey. I bought this because it was short and the title made me smile and it was exactly that.
A wonderfully succinct telling of a ‘how it happened love story’ that evokes all the same feelings as any rom com. I wanted to be Julie and I wanted to be Eddie but I got the best seat in the house as the friend sipping all the tea with none of the anxiety lol.

Surprisingly touching
Eddie is great. The story is great. Listen to it and be moved. I'm inspired to write my own love story, record it and get someone to sell it for me - I'm that inspired by Eddie. And you can virtually stalk the two protagonists on Instagram. On second thoughts, maybe I won't write, record and sell my own love story
