“Are you like the girls in the book too? Because I think I am.”
TW: Homophobia, violence, racism
I loved this book. It was well thought out and planed and it was very realistic, which I loved. I loved the beginning and the end had me hooked. But the only reason why this book is not one of my all time favourite is because it sort of dragged in the middle. But I loved the representation of Chinese American during the 50s and also being queer at the same time. How you were looked at and treated for just loving and being your true self.
I want more of this book and more of Lilys and Kaths love story.
