Our Violent Ends
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 820L · 2021
A gorgeous, violent Romeo-and-Juliet retelling set in 1920s Shanghai that doesn't shy from the moral weight of wartime choices—gorgeous prose and genuinely high stakes, but the second book assumes you've read the first.

Gong brings YA sensibility to middle grade—sharp dialogue, genuine stakes, and a protagonist who's unapologetically herself; the queer romance lands without overwhelming the mystery plot.
