I think you’ll like it! The ending was a bit more pat than I wanted, but overall I really liked it.

After reading your review I’m even looking really forward to it. Might request from the library today.

Thanks so much; I’m going to put it on my list and I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it.

May give it a shot at some point.

I agree, Ann! It kind of felt a bit too pat at the end, but as a whole it was a really good read.

Now that’s it’s close to the release date and people are talking about it, I’m like, oooh ooh this sounds good! Definitely going to be picking this one up soon! I love stories about female relationships.

I have friends who lived the expatriate lifestyle in Hong Kong, and their descriptions of it are very similar to Lee’s portrayal.
