Deemed a thief, a brute, and a slut by one's own family and schoolmates might take its toll on your average fifteen-year-old, but Xirena makes no apologies. Kai, the smoking hot seventeen-year-old boy next door can't stop thinking about the girl everyone in town says is no good. As his obsession for her turns to fiery love, he is hell-bent on unlocking her heart and setting them both free from what their society demands.
The story reads almost like a poem with the curt and pensive sentences. Like the weather, these words expressed both the sensitivity and brutality of humans against the backdrop of lovely China.
