Abraham Changs novel, packed with pop culture, is wonderfully alive. This is a beautifully tender and funny examination of love, of identity, of making your way in a world that is getting bigger and smaller at the same time. Kevin Wilson, bestselling author of Nothing To See HereYoung Wang has received plenty of wisdom from his beloved uncle: dont take life too seriously, get out on the road when you can, and everyone gets just seven great loves in their lifeso dont blow it. This last one sticks with Young as he is an obsessive cataloger of his life: movies watched, favorite albums . . . all filtered through Chinese numerology and superstition. He finds meaning in almost everything, for which his two best friends endlessly tease him. But then, at the end of 1995, when Young is at New York University, he meets Erena. Shes brilliant, charismatic, quickwitted, and crassly funny. They fall in love and, for Young, it feels so real that hes thrilled and terrified. As Young and Erenas relationship blossoms, we get flashbacks to Youngs first five loves. That means Erena is number six. Was his uncle wrongis she the one and only? Or are they fated for failure to make room for Youngs final, seventh love?A love letter to Western pop culture, Eastern traditions, and being a firstgeneration New Yorker, Abraham Changs dazzling debut reminds us that luck only gets us so far when it comes to matters of the heart.
