Cute, sweet, lots of drama, teen angst, but deeper themes of family, fate, culture, and relationships.

A beautifully written and illustrated story of family, love, heartache and grief. I was entirely drawn into Valentina’s story and journey. It felt incredibly real and lacked a punch I wasn’t expecting. This is a graphic novel I’d happily read again.

what to expect:
• first love
• family curses
• complex family dynamics
• vietnamese (fmc), korean and chinese rep
• coming of age
