Home, ambition, and an uncertain connection

Alice arrives at college hoping to leave behind the expectations attached to home, while Haoran is under pressure to turn his overseas education into a stable career. Their friendship grows through everyday mishaps and late-night bubble tea, then faces questions of romance, creative ambition, and family obligation. The graphic-novel romance connects those tensions to a broader search for identity: Alice risks losing touch with her roots, while Haoran weighs drawing comics against the future his family expects him to pursue.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in graphic-novel romance.
  • Readers drawn to stories about college life, identity, and cultural roots.
  • Those interested in family expectations and the pull between creative ambition and a stable career.

Book overview

After botching the only exam that matters in China, Alice arrives at college eager to party like the North Americans on TV--not to hang out with a studious boy who reminds her why she left home.

All Haoran wants is a business degree. His father has spent all his money sending Haoran overseas, and in return, he must graduate and find a stable job. If only he could get rid of the nagging itch to draw a comic book.

From burnt cooking, a stuck elevator, and late-night bubble tea, Alice and Haoran's unlikely friendship promises into something more--unless their differences drive them apart. When a creative opportunity arrives, Haoran must choose between his passion and his family, and Alice must discover her own identity or lose touch with her roots altogether.

Last Night I Dreamed of Home is a richly nuanced and sweetly satisfying rom-com from a brilliant new graphic novel creator.
