A must read for all those stuck between cultures! As a Hong Kong American, this graphic novel really resonated with my internal conflict of being not American or Hong Konger enough. If you ever feel you don't fit in anywhere, this book is perfect to help you find solace in knowing you are perfect the way you are.

Contemplative, wistful, sometimes silly. An honest and heartfelt portrayal of youth, knowing oneself, and where you belong.

one of the best pan-ethnic and pan-Asian texts i've read! heartwarming, well drawn, and thoughtful exploration of mixed race identity, national identity, inter-ethnic friendships, and late adolescence.
