Sushi and Sea Lions is a romance with heart. Dany thinks she's lost everything when an injury takes away her ability to dance ballet professionally. But ballet is a complicated thing to love. It gave her the ability to fly, but it demanded perfection from her in return. She had a body she didn't love and a boyfriend who didn't really love her. It's only when she's lost both ballet and the toxic boyfriend that she can start to find herself.
In Queens, she meets an old friend, Vincent, who's going through his own journey of self discovery. She teaches him to bark at sea lions and play video games and smile, and he teaches her that she is worthy of love, just as she is, imperfections and all.
This is a romance, but it's not just Dany falling in love with her Vin Vin. It's also Dany falling in love with herself, and learning to fly again on her own terms.
