Laura Li is a new student, recently moved from China. Her mother is controlling, her father is always traveling, and her older brother depends on her to take care of him. At school she is popular, beautiful, and envied. But she lives two different lives. Told completely in poems, this book tells the story of a girl struggling to find a place for herself to be an individual in a very crowded world.
WARNING: There are a few swear words and inuendos.
Personal opinion:
I really liked the fact that the book was told in poems, it really added a lot I thought. The story was written brilliantly and really took into account the emotions of the main characters. It dealt really well with the issues of identity and acceptance. I loved the writing, but didn't love the story so much.
