Why read it?
1 author picked The Queens of New York as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I grew up loving The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, and The Queens of New York is reminiscent of that in all the best ways.
Best friends Jia, Ariel, and Everett are spending the summer apart and while I loved all their individual journeys, I found myself most drawn to Ariel who visits Busan, South Korea, where her sister died last year. A tender navigation of grief and identity that simultaneously made my heart ache and feel so full.
From Sarah's list on YA that take you on a journey through South Korea.
