The relationship dynamics inherent in an Asian family are so hard to describe unless one is Asian, but they are beautifully portrayed in the interactions between Anna, her sister, and her mother. The love story is beautiful, but there are so many themes that make The Heart Principle the masterpiece it is. One of my favorite moments from this book is when Quan tells Anna 'Just because something isn’t perfect doesn’t mean we need to throw it away.' The way these two characters come together is perfect despite all their 'imperfections.' Their first date ends with Anna hiding out in the bathroom, but the beauty of their relationship is when one falters the other picks up the slack. His confidence took a hit when he lost his health and although he has recovered, he feels like half a man. Only now he’s no longer that same happy-go-lucky guy. However, his action sparks something in her and she signs up for a dating app in the hopes of a one-night stand where she meets Quan, the loyal, happy-go-lucky, shaved, heavily tattooed secondary character who stole everyone’s heart from The Kiss Quotient and The Bride Test.
