America says goodbye to the mass-market paperback

<p>I recently read &quot;Lunar New Year Love Story&quot; by Gene Luen Yang and LeUyen Pham. I&#x27;d picked it up as a good February read and then was quite surprised by all its twists and turns.

I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve ever seen such a realistic, well-rounded portrayal in fiction. I know people like all of these. I feel like the creators knew their material intimately.
