Lunar New Year Love Story by Gene Luen Yang
5.0
emotional hopeful lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I really enjoyed this. Love is at the center of this story but it really does bring in such things as grief and friendship and fear and navigating different relationships. 

I really liked the art style, the contrast of the light and dark. The romance is very cute. I loved the secondary characters such as Ed (bro!), Val's paternal grandma, Bernice, uncle Yunsang and others. 

There are some instances where the choice of font is difficult to read but other than that this is a story that was fun and feel good while navigating life struggles and relationship dynamics.
