Lunar New Year Love Story by Gene Luen Yang
4.0
Really great coming of age YA graphic novel that explores the different kinds of love, relationships, and forgiveness that can feel really disorienting in early adulthood.
As the title suggests, Lunar New Year is central to the story and I loved that we got the chance to learn about New Year traditions from Vietnam and Korea. The fantasy elements of the story were also really well done, and a clever device for illustrating the main character’s growth over the course of the novel.
