Critics Review

It’s an incredible debut and leaves me hoping we see much more from Lee Lai.– “Multiversity Comics”Honest and emotional. … It’s not often that a graphic novel debut heralds the emergence of a storytelling talent the way Lee Lai’s Stone Fruit does.– “Publishers Weekly (starred review)”
