This was such a sweet book. I really enjoyed the art style and I loved how the author used color to demonstrate when there was a scene change. Tiẽn and his relationship with his mother was so adorable. Loved the queer and immigrant representation. It was so touching to read about how the author put his own experiences with his parents into the book.
