Description

Later that evening, Magnolia begins to tell Izzy her story: sent from Indonesia to Los Angeles in her teens, she met Ellery O'Shea, her best friend, her safe space, the love of her life. What unfolds from there will shock Izzy to her core but also give her a new understanding of the meaning of love, loyalty, and sacrifice.

Next Time Will Be Our Turn by Jesse Sutanto explores the complex dynamics of family ties and the unexpected paths of love, with themes that will resonate deeply with readers who appreciate stories of rediscovery and personal growth.
