AN IRRESISTIBLE INTERNET ROMANCE
This book captures all the tension, drama, and conflict that come with the online-enemies-to-IRL-lovers arca must-read for fans of Emma Lord's Tweet Cute. From hilarious tea discourse and sparkly banter to more pointed jabs and disagreements about how to best help their Chinatown community, Clementine and Danny's adversarial yet affectionate online dynamic will have readers shipping them even before they start falling for each other in person.

SPOTLIGHT ON SOCIAL ACTIVISM AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZING
Sure to resonate with readers questioning their power to create change and take action in their own communities, this story captures just how impactful and rewarding community organizing can be while not shying away from its at-times grueling, thankless nature nor underplaying the nuances involved. Most importantly, the story emphasizes that activists' goals should always prioritize and adapt to the evolving needs of the community and not center their own desires.
