(4) YA Korean American Lauren has been saving money to have her eyes surgically altered to look more Caucasian. No one knows about her plan--especially not her father, who is still grieving the loss of Lauren's mother and keeping a few secrets of his own. While the topic and the story are compelling, the story's resolution, coming after Lauren's believably explored self-doubt, feels too easy.
