by Gloria ChaoA teen outcast is simultaneously swept up in a whirlwind romance and down a rabbit hole of dark family secrets when another Taiwanese family moves to her small, predominantly white midwestern town in this remarkable new novel from the critically acclaimed author of American Panda, which The Wall Street Journal called “weepingly funny.” <P><P>Seventeen-year-old Ali Chu knows that as the only Asian person at her school in middle-of-nowhere Indiana, she must be bland as white toast to survive. This means swapping her congee lunch for PB&Js, ignoring the clueless racism from her classmates and teachers, and keeping her mouth shut when people wrongly call her Allie instead of her actual name, pronounced Āh-lěe, after the mountain in Taiwan. Her autopilot existence is disrupted when she finds out that Chase Yu, the new kid in school, is also Taiwanese. Despite some initial resistance due to the “they belong together” whispers, Ali and Chase soon spark a chemistry rooted in competitive martial arts, joking in two languages, and, most importantly, pushing back against the discrimination they face. But when Ali’s mom finds out about the relationship, she forces Ali to end it. <P><P>As Ali covertly digs into the why behind her mother’s disapproval, she uncovers secrets about her family and Chase that force her to question everything she thought she knew about life, love, and her unknowable future. Snippets of a love story from nineteenth-century China (a retelling of the Chinese folktale The Butterfly Lovers) are interspersed with Ali’s narrative and intertwined with her fate.

"You mean you didn't hire two of us to watch Lori?"Terrence's stiff expression told her all she needed to know. She hoped he wouldn't take the bad news out on the messenger. "Well, then you might be interested to know I'm not the only one following her. "Menacing emotions flickered over Terrence's face, but he seemed to realize even intimidation wouldn't prompt her to tell him something she didn't know. "Where is he now?"Did he really have to ask?

"Terrence's hands curled into fists. For a minute, memories flashed across her eyes. She hunched her shoulders away from him, ready for a strike. He growled, "Just do your job. I'll contact you later. "As he strode away, Heaven straightened again. She swore at herself for showing any kind of weakness to him. He would use her fear against her in the future. For tonight, at least, she was finished. She turned and started walking down the street to the nearest bus stop, more than ready to fall into her bed at home. But one question lingered in her mind, ensuring she would be back like she'd promised. If Terrence hadn't hired the guy tailing Lori, who had?
