LoveHK#1 · May 2026

I love several things about this episode. Kal Penn’s enthusiasm and genuine interest in this audiobook comes through with a smile you can hear, with every question asked about the characters. Now add author Lily Chu’s fascinating background and the structure behind her audiobook’s characters, their different voices, and the overall story, and you’re in for a treat.
