Incredible writing! I enjoy a good coming-of-age story and this one was compelling, heartbreaking, and fresh. Hard to believe this was a debut novel! I look forward to reading more from Fu, especially her short story collection, from which she read at the Sask Festival of Words in Moose Jaw. I loved those stories too and am already a big fan of this new-to-me author!
