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. She's brilliant, charismatic, quick-witted, and crassly funny. They fall in love and, for Young, it feels so real that he's thrilled and terrified. As Young and Erena's relationship blossoms, we get flashbacks to Young's first five loves. That means Erena is "number six." Was his uncle wrong--is she the one and only? Or are they fated for failure to make room for Young's final, seventh love? A love letter to Western pop culture, Eastern traditions, and being a first-generation New Yorker, Abraham Chang's dazzling debut reminds us that luck only gets us so far when it comes to matters of the heart"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chinese Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children of immigrants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Numerology $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240905011454.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240904013019.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B281DCB46A8411EFB450644159ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
