Can’t wait to see what happens next

Lunar New Year Love Story begins with Valentina explaining the role Valentine’s Day plays in her life. She is an interesting character, a bit naive, kind, and more earnest than her peers. When her grandma enters the picture and completely upends everything she believes about her family, I was hooked. What first felt like the start of a cute high school romance became something more interesting and complex. I loved American Born Chinese, and I’m excited about this author - illustrator pairing. Lunar New Year Love Story promises to please both romance fans and fans of multigenerational family stories. I can’t wait to read what happens next.
