Next Time Will Be Our Turn
Description
At a tense Chinese New Year gathering, Izzy Chen is stunned when her glamorous, formidable grandmother publicly reveals a truth that mirrors Izzy’s own private struggle with identity and acceptance. In response, Magnolia shares the sweeping story of her youth, when she left Jakarta for Los Angeles and fell in love with Ellery, an American student whose place in her heart challenged cultural expectations and rigid ideas about whom she was allowed to love. Spanning decades and continents, this tender, twist-filled romance explores family, belonging, queer identity, cultural tradition, and the courage to claim an authentic life. It is a heartfelt story of how unexpected turns—and the people who stay with us through them—can lead to love and self-discovery.
