Outrun the Moon by Stacey Lee
2.0
This just bored me to pieces. I don't even know how I finished it.
I might be biased because I've read a lot of Stacey Lee's books. But I have seen enough of her patterns in writing that it all crumpled down to this book. Chinese culture is vast and some of Lee's representation of it kept repeating over and over again in her books. The numbers omen almost drove me crazy.
Outrun the Moon is really filled with characters I wasn't able to connect with. Her writing in this, compared to the previous ones I've read, was too modern and YA cringy. However, I know this is one of her first books and I'm really relieved she got better. So yeah, I'm still looking forward to reading more of her future works.
