How to Break a Girl

Three women.  Three immigrant stories.  One unbreakable bond.

In How to Break a Girl, Taiwanese Canadian writer Amanda Sung delivers a bold, razor sharp debut about Canadian Asian women coming of age in Vancouver’s cultural crossroads.  Elizabeth, Aurora, and Lily are born in Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.  They navigate love, ambition, family expectations, and the quiet fractures of belonging.

Think Sex and the City but reimagined through immigrant eyes, where sisterhood is survival, cultural baggage is heavy, and resilience is non negotiable.  Funny, fierce, and deeply human, this isn’t a sob story... it’s a reclamation.

As their lives splinter and rebuild across cities and generations, the women confront their deepest fears and discover something powerful.  They discover that you can be broken and still become more yourself than ever.

A story of friendship, identity, and defiant self definition How to Break a Girl proves that dignity doesn’t just endure.  It shines.
