This is a heartwarming graphic novel. I really liked the art work and felt it brought the characters to life. The story was interesting and I loved that I learned a little bit of Asian culture. I didn’t know anything about Lion dancing before this, but it was really cool to see what it was like. Valentina grew up loving Valentine’s Day especially since she feels the connection with her. She would make corny cards and give them to her classmates and father. After hitting high school and seeing her efforts weren’t so appreciated she also starts to learn that there is more to her family than she knew. Valentina learns that her family is cursed with love and the saint she was named after gives her one year to find her true love or give up her heart to him so she will never get hurt but will also never love again. The story was amazing and showed the complications of family, finding culture, finding love, and most importantly finding yourself.
