The ending
Did you like it?

The authors note
Please read it. So much goodness.
And history and personal history.

Discussion questions 😂😅🤷🏻‍♀️no clue they were there !!! Bahaha

mcctrish I loved it for the historical snapshot ( communism, Chinese experience, girls in stem, LGBTQ), the beautiful coming of age story, finding a community, Lily becoming fierce in defence of herself #wecandohardthings @TheBookHippie you picked a GREAT book and I‘ve inspired a bunch of people in my Facebook group to read it after I posted about it 10mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish oh how wonderful!!! It‘s such a great read. 10mo

Read4life This was a moving read. I loved sharing it with my daughter. Lily & Kath not letting everything they went through keep them apart was great. Their strength & convictions were inspiring. They defended themselves & stayed true to themselves. 10mo

Karisa I thought the ending was terrific. It ended on a hopeful note. 💯% agree with @mcctrish and @Read4life Great read! I wish my Facebook friends would care more when I post about books 😅 It‘s like 🦗🦗🤣. Do you have a book group there you could recommend? 10mo

mcctrish @Karisa come join my group, I‘m Patricia Mc on fb and my group is called 25 Books in 2023 ( I make a new one every year) I invite my friends and they invite their friends and people post what they read and people find connections and new books to read 10mo

mcctrish Everyone here is invited if they are on fb 10mo

Karisa @mcctrish Awesome! Thanks! 10mo

DebinHawaii That‘s awesome @mcctrish 🤗 Thank you! 10mo

DebinHawaii This was a great pick @TheBookHippie I had seen it mentioned before but iI didn‘t read enough about it to pick it up on my own. It was moving & informative & as mentioned by @Karisa hopeful at the end. YA at its best when it all comes together like that—I love these gems that come along & I credit you with introducing me to so many of them! 🤗 10mo

TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii ♥️ 10mo

kspenmoll Thanks @mcctrish - I may look you & group up- This was one of the best books I‘ve read this month- we have copies in our school library & 2 students recommended it to me. So I am so happy it was on our buddy read list! 10mo

Catsandbooks Loved the hopeful ending and the terrific author's note! This book had been on my shelf for about a year or so, but I just hadn't gotten to it yet. Glad to have read it with y'all! 10mo

mcctrish @kspenmoll oh please do ❤️ the more the merrier in 25 books 10mo

Sargar114 The ending was wonderful. Realistic with a little bit about what was going on with each character and just the right amount of optimism. Easily the best author‘s note I‘ve ever read. I loved this book so much, my favorite of the month and maybe favorite we‘ve read this year so far. ❤️ 10mo

SamAnne Great author‘s note! Would not have discovered this one if not for the group. 10mo

mollyrotondo So happy to have read this one! I had no idea it was an historical fiction book before picking it up. I learned so much and loved the author's note! Thank you for picking this one @thebookhippie and i am going to look up your FB group @mcctrish thank you! 10mo

TheBookHippie @mollyrotondo I didn‘t either 😂😅👀 I‘m so glad we read it. 10mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I like this book, and I'm glad I waited for this group to read it. I get more out of the books we read together. The epilogue was hopeful, and I'm glad that Kath wasn't institutionalized after being caught. I was worried one of them might be if they were both caught in the raid. Also, we didn't really touch on this, but the kids were great! Lily's brothers were cute near the end when she was trying to find Kath & Kath's sister helping Judy. 😄 10mo

TheBookHippie @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick the little ones were awesome!!!! Should have mentioned it 😅 10mo
