Behind every great family, a deep secret lies hidden... Gemma Huang has just arrived in Los Angeles from Illinois to pursue her dream: becoming a movie star. However, things are not unfolding as she had hoped. She goes from one casting call to the next, living in a dingy apartment. So, when she is offered the lead role in the film "M. Butterfly," to be shot in Beijing, she doesn't hesitate and packs her bags, despite this defying the Huang family's cardinal rule: never, under any circumstances, set foot in China.
Determined to carve out a career in the entertainment industry at all costs, Gemma will experience a summer of incredible revelations and adventures, uncovering the truth that her family has tried to protect her from her entire life.
For readers of "To All the Boys I've Loved Before," this is a fresh romantic comedy that explores themes of identity and cultural prejudices.
