Heize sees in color.

While New York City, the city where she grew up in, feels like a mix of vibrant primary colors to create a plethora of hues, Seoul, the city she is forced to relocate, feels like a grey monochromatic palette. 

However,  in the midst of the drastic changes in her life, Heize is able to find solace in a bustling night-life sector in the middle of Seoul called Hongdae, where she also meets Denzel who is able to change her perspective on her life in Seoul.

This is (hopefully) a heart-wrenching, but at the same time a light and entertaining novella that addresses the complexities of growing up and  seeds hope in young adolescents and adults to see the world for the beauty it contains.
