I mean, let’s be honest, I would read anything Lily Hoang wrote, including bar napkin scribblings. But this book looks to be her most amazing yet, and I am so pumped to read it I actually considered buying another copy at Borders to read before my Amazon order gets here except that then I remembered that my Borders fiction section is, er, not very good. And that this book will probably not be there. So Amazon it is, then. Waiting sucks.
