Rezensionen

"Delightfully romantic and hugely refreshing! I loved every page!" - Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Dumplin'

"A laugh-out-loud, tender, and wholly satisfying read." - Kirkus Reviews

"Sugiura expertly details an intricate web of relationships with exquisite precision and wonderfully cringey moments to explore the joys, frustrations, and conundrums of love." - David Yoon, New York Times bestselling author of Frankly in Love

"An adorable rom-com." - School Library Journal

Praise for This Time Will Be Different: "Sugiura tackles an abundance of topics with finesse, including social and economic injustice, allyship, and feminism, simultaneously breaking down the Asian-American immigration narrative and the myth of the model minority. Essential." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Fresh, vibrant, affecting and powerful." - New York Times Book Review

"A gripping, emotionally charged story that presents a window into a uniquely Japanese American experience." - School Library Journal (starred review)

"With intelligent dialogue surrounding diversity, representation and responsible social action, This Time Will Be Different is a timely, smart novel that readers of contemporary teen fiction will likely devour." - Shelf Awareness

"Sugiura deftly weaves historical fact into this coming-of-age narrative, providing an entertaining and informative backdrop that allows CJ to explore her own sense of identity while giving readers a front seat to her process." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Praise for It's Not Like It's a Secret: "The graceful complexity of this first-person narrative is an accomplishment in itself. Sana is a fully realized protagonist with faults and unacknowledged privilege alongside her nuanced experience of identity and "model minority" racism. Sugiura thoughtfully explores intersecting issues of race, immigrant-family relationships, queer romance, and, less explicitly, class dynamics without implying the significance of one over the others. Well-paced, brimming with drama, and utterly vital." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"An essential and delightful choice that realistically celebrates a teen's discovery of trust in herself and in others." - School Library Journal
