Lovely teen romance that has heart and humor. Relatable characters from diverse backgrounds (different cultures, economic status, life experiences). The drama feels true to life, not contrived or overwrought the way many contemporary romances often feel (for me anyway). Illustrations are fabulous especially the lion dance scenes that really come to life.
