Sunmi’s gorgeous two-color teen graphic novel debut examines the
power of resilience and reinvention, following the lives of Caroline
and Kim, two queer, Asian American teenagers growing up in the
suburbs of the San Francisco Bay Area, as they forge an unexpected
connection.
Caroline
Kim is feeling the weight of sophomore year. When she starts tutoring
infamous senior Kimberly Park-Ocampo—a charismatic lesbian, friend
to rich kids and punks alike—Caroline is flustered . . . but
intrigued
Their
friendship kindles and before they know it, the two are sneaking out
for late-night drives, bonding beneath the stars over music, dreams,
and a shared desire of getting away from it all.
A
connection begins to smolder . . . but will feelings of guilt and the
mounting pressure of life outside of these adventures extinguish
their spark before it catches fire?
