I knew from reading <I>Front Desk</I> that Kelly Yang was a deft writer, but this took my breath away at times. Loved the gradual bonds that grew between the characters and how the world felt so real. (Yes, I know: It's a contemporary YA, but there are times when the worlds depicted in them feel divorced from reality.)

Dani and Claire were compelling protagonists with a memorable cast of supporting characters.
