This Place Is Still Beautiful is a stunning contemporary on growing up and forming your own identity with a great commentary on racism against asians. A debut novel that blew me away. The writing was amazing and perfectly balanced between each sisters perspective, their relationships and their ideas surrounding the event. As an asian teen I felt so connected to this text and understand the clashing personalities of both. A perfect book and a must read for any contemporary fans.
