A love story that centers the insecurities that stem from losing a parent and the grief that follows. Characters wants to believe in love, but opening yourself to potential suffering when you've already experienced such intense pain can be so difficult. What a great story to help teens think through this dilemma.

i like the lion dancing part so much. only confusing part is how she just went to rome and how jae just was going to korea. parents seems way too chill or maybe they just neglected their kids
