Hunter Yee has perfect aim with a bow and arrow, but all else in his life veers wrong. He’s sick of being haunted by his family’s past mistakes. The only things keeping him from running away are his little brother, a supernatural wind, and the bewitching girl at his new high school.
Luna Chang dreads the future. Graduation looms ahead, and her parents’ expectations are stifling. When she begins to break the rules, she finds her life upended by the strange new boy in her class, the arrival of unearthly fireflies, and an ominous crack spreading across the town of Fairbridge.
As Hunter and Luna navigate their families’ enmity and secrets, everything around them begins to fall apart. All they can depend on is their love…but time is running out, and fate will have its way.

Just lovely. The multiple POVs really helped move the story along and added a lot of depth without being overly complicated, and the writing perfectly captures those teenage feelings of first love, feeling trapped by the expextations of your parents, and yearning for a path of your own.

What A amazing book! from the lavish descriptions to the Chinese Mythology elements packed in the book, there is really a lot too love here. The writing really kept me engaged and loved the different POVs that we got
in the book. The only reason it's not a full five stars is that I wish the ending was longer! The ending was definitely the best part and I can't believe it was only a couple of chapters! Anyways, read this book if you love Romeo and Juliette, Stars, and some rebellious kids.
Thanks to Netgalley and Publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review
I admit to being a little afraid to read Pan's sophomore novel as I read her first during my Printz year and ADORED it. She is a gorgeous writer and her words are so beautiful and luminous - like the moon!
But I loved this take on Romeo and Juliet just as much. It's a lot dreamy and sad but so worth it.
