Being a first-generation Asian American immigrant is hard. You know what\u0026#39;s harder? Being the daughter of one. Samantha Kang has never gotten along with her mother, Priscilla--and has never understood her bougie-nightmare, John Hughes high school expectations. After a huge fight between them, Sam is desperate to move forward--but instead, finds herself thrown back. Way back. To her shock, Sam finds herself back in high school . . . in the \u0026#39;90s . . . with a 17-year-old Priscilla. Now this Gen Z girl must try to fit into an analog world. She\u0026#39;s got the fashion down, but everything else is baffling. What is \u0026quot;microfiche\u0026quot;? What\u0026#39;s with the casual racism and misogyny? And why does it feel like Priscilla is someone she could actually be . . . friends with? Sam\u0026#39;s blast to the past has her finding the right romance in the wrong time while questioning everything she thought she knew about her mom . . . and herself.
