Bubble Tea Girl

Althea Liu

Julia Hua is a Flushing shop girl whose modest passions include writing clothing tags blurbs and designing girly websites for a cheeky fashion boutique.One day, Julia accidentally comes to the aid of homey young woman. Later Kalliyan disparagingly nicknames the young woman "The Bubble Tea Girl" after her unreasonable fondness for the Asian drink. Despite Julia's efforts to befriend the lonely girl, the Bubble Tea Girl steals Julia's writing and passes it off as her own. In her effort to reclaim what she once took from granted, Julia embarks on an adventure that would take her far out of the comfort zone of her knockoff Burberry scarf and Hello Kitty jewelry counter. From the boy loving stage door scenes of Times Square to the traditional weddings of Beijing and the domain of the elite literary wise men of Flushing, Julia would have to chase down her dreams while struggling to reinvent her definition of love and success.
