Jade and Emerald by Michelle See-Tho | Review

JADE & EMERALD scratched the One Hundred Days-shaped itch in my reading in a way I wasn’t expecting at all. It explores class dynamics, queerness, the model minority myth, and Asian Australian girlhood with so much heart. It’s also delightfully full of 90s nostalgia (was I alive? No. Did it make me very sentimental? Yes.)

Timecode of a Face by Ruth Ozeki | Review
