Jen Wang weaves an exuberantly romantic tale of identity, young love, are, and family. A fairy tale for any age."
My Rating: 5/5
This was a perfect refresher of a graphic novel for me. It was light, it was fun, but it also had a beautiful coming-of-age story. The way the artist tells the story is beautiful and the ending had me smiling. I would gladly read something else by the author. A perfect palate cleanser for an older audience or a coming-of-age story for young adults.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
