I’m crying at the ending of this book, such a heartwarming romance. I surprisingly learned a lot about lion dancing and I enjoyed how well this story was put together.

I loved this book!
The family stories and histories. The use of St. Valentine and spirits. I liked the different points of view and mostly about religion. I liked the use of the dragon dance , and the show of different cultures using it.
The use of imagery and symbolism, and the story itself is also just very sweet, it makes you feel, and feel light at the end of it.

This was definitely a more in depth graphic novel that touched on a lot of topics especially when it comes to love in any kind of relationship.
You definitely see the highs and lows of the FMC going from her loving the idea of love and then resentment and finally acceptance.
The ending of certain side plots left me a bit unsatisfied. There were some side characters (due to plot) that I felt should’ve had more dialogue but all around it is a sweet story that touches on real life scenarios 🫶🏽😌
