"Packed with pop culture.... A beautifully tender and funny examination of love, of identity, of making your way in a world that is getting bigger and smaller at the same time.ā āKevin Wilson, bestselling author of Nothing to See Here
Love is a numbers game...
Young Wang has received plenty of wisdom from his beloved uncle: donāt take life too seriously, get out on the road when you can, and everyone gets just seven great loves in their lifeāso donāt blow it. This last one sticks with Young as he is an obsessive cataloger of his life: movies watched, favorite albums . . . all filtered through Chinese numerology and superstition. He finds meaning in almost everything, for which his two best friends endlessly tease him. But then, at the end of 1995, when Young is at New York University, he meets Erena. Sheās brilliant, charismatic, quick-witted, and crassly funny. They fall in love and, for Young, it feels so real that heās thrilled and terrified. As Young and Erenaās relationship blossoms, we get flashbacks to Youngās first five loves. That means Erena is ānumber six.ā Was his uncle wrongāis she the one and only? Or are they fated for failure to make room for Youngās final, seventh love?
A love letter to Western pop culture, Eastern traditions, and being a first-generation New Yorker, Abraham Changās dazzling debut reminds us that luck only gets us so far when it comes to matters of the heart.
