✩⏳🩷Review:
A short and sweet novella that packs a powerful emotional punch!
“Back to You” follows Allison Yang, an exhausted career woman on the verge of death, after she is given the opportunity to redo her life.
Liang’s insightful, coming-of-age story grips from the get-go. Similar to her previous works, she incorporates magical elements to explore a common dilemma—picking a career path. Readers who are torn between pursuing their passion and what society has deemed more practical will see their struggles reflected in Allison. Prior to her untimely death, a clear picture is painted of what it’s like to choose a discipline for the wrong reasons: Allison is miserable, exhausted, and suffering from severe burnout. The second chance she is given presents her with the opportunity to change the trajectory of her life, starting with switching majors, leaving toxic friends behind, and approaching her crush. Allison and Luke have palpable chemistry, and their first date is absolutely adorable! Altogether, Liang perfectly balances themes of self-discovery and love to create an enjoyable and impactful read.
