I loved this story! I think the idea of understanding who you are and finding your place in this world is relevant to all ages. This story resonated with the adolescent and young adult in me; I struggled to find a circle to call my own; I struggled with confidence and not allowing myself to get taken advantage of. Part interactive and wholly introspective, this is a great introduction into graphic novels and a story that is readable and approachable for all ages. The art isn't very detailed but still eye-catching. I think because it was simple, it added to the story instead of distracting the reader from the story.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this graphic novel!

i really wanted to like this one! i adored the art style. i was really interest in hearing the story of a bisexual chinese immigrant in america struggling to come out to her mother. but, the way the comic and structure was laid out was so difficult for me to follow.
thankful i read this due to the art style. but, the way the panels were were hard for me to follow. they just weren’t well organized imo. would love to check out more from this author.

Sad but true. I read this book several years ago. At that time, I accidentally found this book on a comic website. Because of the poetic title, I opened it, and I cried all along reading. I could relate to every part in the book, except I didn’t have the chance to go to other countries. I felt stuck at that time, and no way to escape from the dilemma. I could not speak my feelings out loud in real world, but I find resonance , comfort and maybe some hope in this book.

3.5, i have mixed feelings as always about works originally published online as insta posts, blogs, etc turned into physical books. i feel they dont explore the depth the comic medium has to offer however, this book is sweet and easy read (literally took me maybe a half hour) and shared a valuable perspective on being a queer immigrant in the us and how queerness and coming out looks in a chinese family + other reflections on loneliness and self love
I have read so many Baopu comics over the years, I am delighted to finally read this collection. Honestly it's probably the most relatable comic I've ever read. I love it so much.
