Your writing is great! I especially loved the scene with Noelle doing her literature homework and you showing so well what is going on in her mind.
To be honest, was not a fan of jokes just being ripped off tumblr posts. Your own jokes are much funnier! And frankly I love the more angsty scenes. They hit so close home with me being closeted bi with immigrant parents living in immigrant neighbourhoods all my life. In Europe, not USA, and not Asian, but tons of stuff you wrote reflected my experiences so well...
I am really looking forward to the sequel! You are fantastic!
