I really enjoyed this. I love coming of age novels and this was such an interesting one. The level of detail Lo has included means the book has a really vivid sense of place and time and I felt completely immersed in the setting of 1950s San Francisco. It's an emotional but hopeful story and while the romance isn't the main plot line, I thought it was really sweet. I also loved Lily as a character. She's thoughtful and brave and I often found myself thinking about her when I wasn't reading. I'd read a couple of Lo's other books but this is definitely my favourite.
