A review by chaptersofmads
Lunar New Year Love Story by Gene Luen Yang

TW: abandonment, alcoholism, cancer, death, death of a loved one, fatphobia, grief.

Such a sweet story! I don't always connect well with graphic novels, but I think the length of this one really helped as well as the incorporations of complex topics (such as grief and generational curses) amidst the romance/humor. I also really loved how the magical realism was handled.

On top of that, the art itself was stunning.

Absolutely hated her friend though, holy crap. I get it. I do. But damn.


Overall, I recommend this if you're looking for a quick and cute, but still meaningful read.
