Welcome to Litsy!

I really liked this teen mystery set in LA in 1932. A young Chinese-American actress is murdered and her friends have to find her killer.

It was a fast read, but it was also slightly boring. I really think the issue is with me on this one. I thought the writing style was great, and the storyline was decent, yet I still didn't end up caring for it. It was just an okay read for me. I probably won't even remember much about it in a couple days.

If you‘ve read Stacey Lee before and/or if you like YA historical fiction with a mystery thrown in, I definitely recommend. Lee does a great job showing us a side of history often underrepresented or forgotten. Told in the dual POV of sisters Gemma and May, I loved their distinct voices and personalities as they investigated the murder of their friend, Lulu, and navigated being Chinese in Los Angeles in 1932.

Yes it‘s in our schedule next year 😂😅

I‘ll watch for sales ♥️

This is a beautifully written piece of historical fiction that I really enjoyed. Both Gemma and May act as narrators, offering similar yet unique perspectives about the events taking place and the feelings held by many of the characters; these two sisters could not be more different. While there is a decent mystery within the narrative I think the historical and social commentaries carry the story just as much, if not more.

On our 2025 schedule due out this month on the 23rd 👀 #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD 🗡️🌹
