Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Saw @peanutnine read this and I loved Last Night at the Telegraph Club so I decided to read it ASAP!

Touching story about a Chinese American 18 year old spending her summer with her artist grandmother prior to starting at MIT. It‘s there she meets some local queer folks and she‘s introduced to something she‘d never considered about herself.

I normally hate coming of age and ya but this series is great.

I really enjoyed this coming of age story. Aria's struggle with self-discovery was messy yet relatable. Her relationship with her family members influenced her in many unseen ways. I loved the connections she had with art and science, it really brought the story together meaningfully
Read this with the #sundaybuddyread crew, which is always a good time @TheBookHippie

Finished for #SundayBuddyRead it‘s a companion novel of sorts to the author‘s Last Night at the Telegraph Club we read last year. (You don‘t need to have read Telegraph first, but there‘s a nice follow-up for characters from that book). A YA novel set in the Bay Area in 2013 where Aria is sent to spend the summer before college with her artist grandmother. Good LGBT representation in a coming-of-age story & a great June read.🏳️‍🌈

Some lovely writing, especially about artistic and intellectual passions. A soft pick for me, probably because I'm not the right audience.

I only finished 2 books this last week although I started several. Aria is shipped off to her grandmother‘s for the summer after an embarrassing situation. It becomes a time of awakening for her. 3.5 🌟

This is cute coming of age LGBTQIA+ YA. I enjoyed it despite not being in the target demographic.

A lovely YA novel about taking chances, finding oneself, and acceptance. I loved the art references throughout the novel! Great pick for #SundayBuddyRead ! #BBRC #TeenAngst #ThrowCautionToTheWind

I‘ve been waiting to read this one and it didn‘t disappoint. It was great getting to know Aria but even better watching Aria get to know herself.

A coming of age story of Aria, a high school graduate going to stay with her artist grandmother in the San Francisco area after an unfortunate incident with a boy dismantles her original plans. We learn a lot about who Aria is and where she comes from and in all this she learns about various kinds of love and herself. #sundaybuddyread

My day of adulting ended with a float to finish this. It‘s from the library and I have another book to return so I figured I‘d do one trip sooner than later. My FAVOURITE part of this book was all the art talk, the YA inability to talk to people about feelings/concerns is tiresome ( cuz I‘m so past it) this book is a lovely look at first love and its intensity . I loved the connection to ML‘s first book and the ending #sundaybuddyread

Feeling very relaxed at the end of #hyggehour tonight.

Usually I hate epilogues, and this is the second of her books I‘ve really thought they worked in. Every so often an author just has the knack for them.

I have 4 friends playing pickleball in the park. Until I'm needed to give someone a break, I'll be in my hammock chair reading on my phone. Fingers crossed, I can finish the first week's section today.
