Laura Gao recounts her journey from childhood in Wuhan to navigating life as a Chinese immigrant in Texas, balancing cultural differences and personal growth. Through humor and insight, she explores her experiences with basketball, school, and her emerging feelings for girls.
I’ve been wanting to read this graphic novel for awhile and was so happy that it was available from the library! Funny and sweet, introspective and tense, beautiful and loving. I fully enjoyed seeing Laura’s experiences through their eyes. I adore the relationship with their younger brother (so cute and fun!) and how much they grew in high school and college.
She does an amazing job with both the story and illustrations. The art was beautiful! I fully recommend picking this one up - it is a beautiful memoir.
