Emily Wu feels trapped. Her traditional Chinese parents don’t get her—don’t get her desire to wear makeup or to have a boyfriend or to just be a normal American teenager. And since they won’t understand—can’t understand—what she’s going through, Emily shuts them out, weaving a tangle of lies that inevitably traps her in a way that even her parents’ overbearing traditionalism can’t. But all isn’t angst and attitude in this book about finding your voice, and your place in the world. There’s beauty and poetry to Wong’s story, too—both of which make Emily’s journey well worth traveling with her.
