PRAISE FOR Loveboat Reunion: "Like a mooncake-sweet, savory, and altogether satisfying." - Kirkus Reviews

"Loveboat Reunion is about the interplay between surface images and our true selves, about trying to figure out who we are in an image obsessed world, about the way people see us and how it can limit and entrap, and what it means when someone really actually sees you for who you are." - Anne Ursu, author of National Book Award long-listed novel The Lost Boy

"An inspiring look at the strength of family and the importance of art, and how both can influence how we see ourselves and the world around us. Plus, it's just wonderfully romantic! I fell in love with Xavier, Sophie, and Loveboat all over again." - Marissa Meyer, bestselling author of Instant Karma

PRAISE FOR Loveboat, Taipei: "Abigail Hing Wen's Loveboat, Taipei is a poignant and honest examination of first love, family obligations and that strange place between high school and college, where we don't quite know who we are and as such, anything could happen. A unique story from an exciting and authentic new voice." - Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of An Ember in the Ashes

"[Loveboat, Taipei] is a wonderful read and I find the book has just stayed with me. It has so much to say about being the child of immigrants, about gender and sexuality, about identity and what makes a home. Ever's search to define herself, with all her intersecting identities, in a world that wants to define her is really beautifully wrought and lovely."

"Refreshing and exciting...YA readers will love the mix of romance, defiance, adventure, culture, and friendship." - School Library Journal

"There's a sweetness to Ever's rumspringa, and the hothouse atmosphere of Chien Tan, with its intense relationships and clever balance between respectability for parents and opportunistic freedom for their offspring, is deftly conveyed." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
