Seventeen-year-old Ocean Wu moves to New York City to start college, but she defers her enrollment, keeping it a secret from her immigrant mother, and instead uses the time to deal with her ambivalence about her place in the world.
Amy Zhang Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Amy Zhangová mala kedysi veľa imaginárnych priateľov. Keď jej ľudia povedali, aby vyrástla, premenila svojich imaginárnych priateľov na postavy a začala rozprávať ich príbehy. Jej písanie je hravé a poháňané túžbou po sebapoznaní, ktorá sa odráža v jej neobvyklých a pútavých príbehoch. Keď práve nepíše, hrá na klavíri, hrá tenis alebo zápasí so svojou týždennou existenčnou krízou, čím demonštruje svoju všestrannosť a hĺbku.
