Of all Chanani's graphic novels, this one is my favorite. A little magical realism, cute animals, and conflict.
Aria's been badly burned with a friend exposing her private pictures to social media (spoiler:judging by aria's reaction I'm guessing the pictures were suggestive in nature at best or sexting at the worst . and just wants to unwind with her paternal grandmother, Nainai in San Francisco to get her mind off of things. But Nainai's not at peace either. She's chained to her Boba shop and is forced to cook it daily. Something's not right, and it's going to take the boba of them to find out why!
No, you cannot arrest me for a pun. Moving on ...
Although the book was mostly lighthearted, there are still some minor stakes. Also, the animals friends are very cute here - prairie dogs and kittens.
