This story was beautifully written and heart wrenching; it is clear why it won the stonewall award. The description of romance truly felt like discovering your sexuality for the first time, and it made me feel like a teenager again—albeit one that had to grow up too quickly. The historical and cultural elements added another layer to what was already a beautiful story, and Malinda Lo seems to have gotten everything right.
Moderate: Homophobia, Racial slurs, and Xenophobia
