Delightful and tender story of a queer couple navigating life. Sometimes our relationships come to natural tension points. In Lee Lai's Stone Fruit, the author gently combs through the aftermath and shows readers how to rebuild ourselves and how to define family. Visually, the story is told through small details, which I really enjoyed. Being a mother myself, I loved Amanda's multifaceted character.
