I went into this book without really knowing what it's about.  I didn't even know it was a graphic novel until recently.  I initially saw it on NetGalley and knew I had to read it because I'll read anything Gene Luen Yang puts out.

This is a lovely teen romance that reminds us that love is not without difficult times, but it should also be easy.  There's a lot of different types of relationships represented, parent-child, best friends, teens dating, and divorce.  I loved how all of the relationships worked in tandem with each other.  It's such a sweet story about love and wanting to have that special someone.  

The artwork is beautiful and fits the story well.  And it was released just in time for Lunar New Year.
