Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li
3.0

'How could he explain how it felt to know, with a terrible and unflinching certainty, that you were not enough for your dreams.'

'She could never be Chinese enough for China. She could never be American enough for here.'

'Art could be beauty, but it was also power. Look, it demanded, and don't turn away.'


Really enjoyed the writing style but it was a little repetitive and I wanted a little more tension.
