Also, I know this is very specific, but I'm dying for a YA set in the Jewish ghetto in WW2 Shanghai. I've literally been thinking about this for years...If it's a love story, even better! #ownvoices #MSWLI’ve been looking for this for years (MG or YA)! This is my grandma’s story and a mainstay on my #MSWL.
