In Our Wayward Fate by Gloria Chao, Ali Chu tries to fit in as the only Asian girl at her mostly-white Indiana school. When a new boy named Chase joins her school and turns out to be Taiwanese, Ali initially resists the “they belong together” whispers. However, the two of them soon find chemistry thanks to shared interests and experiences. So then why is Ali’s mother so insistent that she not date Chase, and so secretive about her reasons?

Free copies will be available at the Reference Desk after April 1st, while supplies last.
