If You Could See the Sun by Ann Liang

All I have to say is, if your man can’t SENSE YOUR PRESENCE when you’re literally INVISIBLE because of how well he knows you, you need a better man. Henry Li supremacy.
No but seriously, this was an incredible read. It was so moving and impactful, I literally cried several times and it wasn't even that sad LOL. I loved Alice, and while we're very different people (her experiences of moving to the US and then going back to Beijing are more comparable to my parents' and grandparents' experiences with immigrating to Canada and establishing themselves here rather than mine), her struggles were incredibly relatable. Academic validation and all that... IT HIT HARD I was not okay

“But as I turn to leave, he adds, very quietly, “You’re still a kid, you know.” I falter. “What?” His eyes are kind, almost sad when he looks at me. “Even if it doesn’t feel that way now, you’re still only a kid.” He shakes his head. “You’re too young to be this...hardened by the world. You should be free to dream. To hope.”
