Description

Falling in love was never part of the plan. A stunning YA romance set against the backdrop of the 2019 Hong Kong protests.

Read this; you’ll walk away changed.‘ Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief

SUMMER, 2019

When Phoenix attends a protest rally with her older brother, it ignites a fire in her she didn’t know she had. The island city she loves is disappearing and she’s determined to capture the moment with her camera.  
 
Kai never wanted to be a policeman. But when his mother died, his estranged father enrolled him in the Academy. A chance encounter with a group of student protestors offers him a way to earn his father’s approval once and for all: by going undercover and infiltrating their network. 
 
That night, Phoenix and Kai accidentally swap phones and sparks fly, drawing them together even as they stand on different sides of the struggle. But when love is built on a lie, what chance does it have to survive? 

I could not put it down and haven’t stopped thinking about it since I finished. A must read.‘ Susan Lee, author of Seoulmates

‘An honest and searing portrait of the Hong Kong protests.’ Axie Oh, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
