Cute. A 20-something queer, China born American woman writes about her coming out, her relationship to herself, the struggles of culture clash and memories, poetry, making art, body image, being hopeful.

Swithered between giving this 4 or 5 stars so I'm going to sit on it and see how I feel about it over time.
My immediate feeling is that this is a beautiful graphic novel that explores identity, belonging, family ties, and mental wellbeing. The graphic novel is compiled of various short comics which build out an overall narrative of a queer Chinese immigrant in the USA, finding their place in their new home and feeling out their identity (loved the comic on the boxes we fit in/choose).
So many of the comics in this memoir-esque graphic novel really moved me - definitely one I'd like to buy and reread (I read a library copy).
