By moving to her new apartment, 12-year-old Emily can finally breathe and start her life over again. After putting a family tragedy behind, and helping her father manage his depression, life can only get better from here. While coloring outside on her balcony, an ominous glow appears from her neighbors balcony. Four lanterns blow in the wind, and glow every night. As Emily gets to the bottom of the meaning behind those four lanterns, she becomes intertwined with a story about optimism, love, catastrophe and hope. As Emily listens to this story, she begins to think that the world is not as dark as it seems... But in reality, it's darker than the murderers that stalk her house.

To cover the traces of his depravity, Gu Xiao constricted himself to the role of a jester while being torn between the idealisation of others and reality. Gu Xiao was a slacker in school, constantly truanting and playing around. Unknowingly, when he gets glued to sitting next to Lan Yuning, the school's top student, a linked past that they never knew they shared, gradually came back to haunt them. These students weaved their way through the tangling threads of familial relationships, financial issues, examinations, and identity while enjoying most of their last high school year. [You killed him.] [If you didn't ignore him that time, then he wouldn't have died.] [It's in the past.

Why would you like someone like me...?] ___________________________ Warning: mentions of suicide, homophobia, and domestic abuse THIS IS A SLOW BURN so if you want to read something fast and spicy then this book isn't for you :') Cover: @CASZETTESComplete
