This book is tender and beautiful. Lo writes about first love, in all of its glory, from a perspective that has not seen the spotlight too often. As an Asian American lesbian growing up in a family devoted to traditional Chinese values, Lily’s story pulls at your heart-strings and Lo’s storytelling puts you right back in 1950’s America.
