It's been fun seeing how Mia's voice and emotional maturity develops over the course of this series, and I hope that there will be an opportunity for Yang to pivot this series to YA over time. This one dealt with tricky subjects like visiting your home country, differing speeds of economic development, family expectations, gentrification, and everything related to middle school.
