A thoroughly enjoyable book that imagines a cross-section of identities I had never even really considered. The juxtaposition of the two worlds Lily lives in draws attention to the similarities and differences of different types of bigotry. She can be Chinese American in some places and she can be a lesbian in others, but many places she can't be either and nowhere can she be both. I also love the feminist subplot thrown in and feel for the misogyny that tried so hard to crush the dreams of people like Lily, Kath, and so many other little girls who looked to the stars.
