Gadget Girl: The Art of Being Invisible by Suzanne Kamata
3.0
This was also fine. Immigrant angst with a little bit of disability representation and a cool hobby for the protagonist, who likes comics. The romance and hobby part of the narrative was far less interesting than the family drama.
Think about it.
The mom is a celebrated sculptor of people with disabilities, whose daughter resents being her muse
The dad is an indigo farmer from a traditional family persuaded to give his child up. His new wife has convinced him to finally contact his daughter and introduce her to her brother for the first time
Whyyyy would the writer ignore all that to focus on a Parisian romance instead? Oh, right. YA. That's why.
