Two star-crossed teenagers fall in love during the Hong Kong protests in this
searing contemporary novel about coming-of-age in a time of change, for fans
of Malinda Lo and Axie Oh.
Sixteen-year-old Phoenix knows her parents have invested thousands of dollars
to help her leave Hong Kong and get an elite Ivy League education. They think
America means big status, big dreams, and big bank accounts. But Phoenix
doesn't want big; she just wants home. The trouble is, she doesn't know where
that is … until the Hong Kong protest movement unfolds, and she learns the
city she's come to love is in danger of disappearing.
Seventeen-year-old Kai sees himself as an artist, not a filial son, and
certainly not a cop. But when his mother dies, he's forced to leave Shanghai
to reunite with his estranged father, a respected police officer, who's
already enrolled him in the Hong Kong police academy. Kai wants to hate his
job, but instead, he finds himself craving his father's approval. And when he
accidentally swaps phones with Phoenix and discovers she's part of a protest
network, he finds a way to earn it: by infiltrating the group and reporting
their plans back to the police.
As Kai and Phoenix join the struggle for the future of Hong Kong, a spark
forms between them, pulling them together even as their two worlds try to
force them apart. But when their relationship is built on secrets and
deception, will they still love the person left behind when the lies fall
away?
