(4) YA Simon needs help with his English. Amy, a Chinese American known to him as "Subway Girl," loves the fast life of Hong Kong but can't master the language. The two become friends, with Simon offering emotional support after Amy discovers she's pregnant. The dialogue--especially Simon's halting English--can be awkward, but the setting is fresh and the friendship generally believable.
