All the Way Around the Sun

Stella Chen is annoyed.

Her parents have forced her to join the Zhao family on a college tour around the West Coast, and their overachieving son Alan, who she hasn't seen since she was six, is insufferable.

It also seems like her parents can't wait to take a break from her, as she's a constant reminder of the son they recently lost - Stella's big brother, David.

Tensions fly as Stella struggles with grief, long-kept family secrets are revealed, and at some point along the way she begins to see Alan as more than just the bratty kid from her childhood...
Praise for This Place is Still Beautiful: 'This book made me feel seen in a way that very few books ever have.'
Misa Sugiura, author of This Time Will Be Different
