Sunshine Nails

"Jessica Tran returns home to Toronto after living in Los Angeles for eight years. In all that time, she never came to visit, and her parents never felt they had the time to fly out to California. Having just lost her job, she’s insulted when her father offers her work at the family business, Sunshine Nails, a salon the Trans have been operating for years. Eventually, though, she doesn’t have much choice – and Jessica is surprised to find herself getting competitive with Take Ten, the trendy chain salon opening across the street that’s endangering Sunshine Nails’ business. This swift and pleasing read also simmers with questions about work, class and generational divides."
