Blog Tour ~ Until We Meet Again by Lily Kim Qian ~ 15 Reactions While Reading
Hello!!
Welcome welcome to a new Blog Tour! Today I am part of the Toppling Stacks Tour for Until We Meet Again by Lily Kim Qian! I just had to sign up and, normally I don’t do this, had to do a review (or in this case a 15 reactions while reading). I am so excited, so let’s go to my reactions and after that I am sharing information on the book and the author~
15 reactions I had while reading:
A poignant and vividly illustrated graphic memoir about a young woman’s search for belonging as her immigrant family moves between Canada and China.
Lily isn’t sure where home is anymore. Her family is constantly on the move, resettling in different towns across Canada and, eventually, in Shanghai, China. Her father plays the role of primary caregiver while her mother is absent for long periods of time. When she reappears, her strange behavior turns Lily’s life upside down. As Lily enters her college years, she strives to better understand her family and her place in the world. But can she escape the inherited trauma passed down by her immigrant parents?
Content Warning: trauma, mental health struggles
