October OzLit Book Club - Model Minority Gone Rogue by Qin Qin

Join us for the OzLit Book Club gathering on Wednesday 28th of October at 6pm at the Book Cow, where our chosen title is Model Minority Gone Rogue: How an unfulfilled daughter of a tiger mother went way off script by Qin Qin.

We all grow up with rules. Do this, be this, don't be that. Qin Qin was all about the rules: do your homework, be good, don't rock the boat. She was the model daughter, model student and model minority.

But doing everything right? It made her lost and miserable. So she decided to take a spectacular risk and change everything.

At 23, Qin Qin was an unhappy overachiever working for a prestigious law firm. So she quit. She didn't know what else was out there, but she wanted to find out. She changed paths, changed countries, changed her entire view of what the world could be, and who she could be - with some primal screaming and tree-hugging along the way.

In the process, she discovered the person she truly was, not who she thought she should be.

Model Minority Gone Rogue is a funny, sad, exhilarating and thought-provoking true story about what happens when you want to live life on your own terms, even when those terms go against everything you've ever known. It's a story of what happens when you choose love over fear and honour your authentic self: life can be bigger and brighter than anything you had ever imagined.
