Really well written, and how could it not be with such an interesting story? It held my attention and I got through the book like buttuh. 10/10 recommend!
Jennifer Pan is the daughter of Hann and Bich Pan who escaped from war-torn Vietnam and settled in Toronto. Their two children were raised according to a tradition called "Tiger-parenting."
The parents set high goals for the children and they were disciplined if they failed to meet those expectations. Jennifer became highly proficient in piano, figure skating and swimming. Meanwhile, she was expected to make straight A's in her school work.
When Jennifer met Daniel Wong, her grades began to suffer and she constructed a complex web of lies and deceit to keep her parents unaware. The stress became so great that she began to believe that her life would be much better without her father in the picture.
What happened next would destroy many lives, including Jennifer's. The story is well-written and well-researched and presented in an organized manner so the reader is not distracted by trivialities. It is highly recommended for all true crime fans and non-fiction readers.
I have such a reaction to this book. Such betrayal. The pain the father must feel. Incredibly good read and frightening to see how it built up. I recommend for true crime fans or just readers in general.
A terrible betrayal of daughter to father. Jennifer thought that her parents were too strict. She lied about everything to her family in order to do as she pleased. When her lies were going to be exposed she plotted to kill her father and mother. She then got caught in her lies by the police and was convicted for her murderous plan. A great book and a must read for all True Crime Readers
Very good book!! And highly recommend.
This is a great book! I think it’s hard to have such strict parents but it also doesn’t mean they should be murdered and by their own daughter. I found it fascinating how many times Jennifer changed her story and how the author shows you the differences in her story. It is amazing to read about police work and how they put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
