“With Our Wayward Fate, Chao establishes herself as one of the
premier writers in contemporary YA. Ali’s story is one of young
love, long-hidden secrets, cultural divides, and the pressure, not
only to find balance between one’s history and future, but to
understand how the one affects the other. No one writes family in
all its beauty and complexity like Gloria Chao.” —David Arnold, New
York Times bestselling author of Mosquitoland and The Strange
Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik
“Chao is a master of combining humor with more serious moments in a
story that's sure to stick with you for a long time.” —BuzzFeed
“Our Wayward Fate is another amazing story about juggling family
expectations and what you want for yourself. If that’s not the
essential teen journey, we’re not sure what is.” —Paste
Magazine
“Beautifully heartbreaking.” —BookPage
“This is more than a coming-of-age novel, and readers will fall in
love with Ali.” —SLJ
“Chao brings readers a witty protagonist who breaks stereotypes of
Chinese Americans by simply being herself.” —Kirkus Reviews
“[An] inventive, deeply heartfelt love story that explores
connections of many kinds.” —Booklist
