kaitlphere 's review for:

Lunar New Year Love Story by Gene Luen Yang
5.0

I love the evolution of the St. Valentine character as Val grows up and her self perception changes. I love that ballet became lion dancing and I enjoyed the inclusion of multiple traditions of lion dancing

Val's family is very messy but I really appreciated the non-nuclear family representation. The whole family needs to work on their communication. I also appreciated seeing Jae's and Les's families and how every family has their own challenges.

The art was very good, especially for the dancing. I enjoyed seeing the movements that happen inside the costume. The cover and chapter title pages are stunning.

This was a really long book and I still read it in one sitting and would read more

Everyone needs a friend like Ed, bro.
