I Read Stories: Foxfire by Lisa Cai
Toki is Japanese-Canadian, Cindy Chinese-Canadian. They meet in school as strangers and eventually live their lives together. They each have a mythical heritage as well.
The story is in four chronologically numbered parts, which are presented out of order; I’m pretty sure this is superior to a simple telling, but I don’t know why, or if the order presented is the best. It's perhaps a personal failing that having something in the story to think about structurally is why it stuck with me.
