Summary: A must read!
Comment: I highly recommend this book! I have never related so completely to a book as I did with this one. It's absolutely hilarious and any woman can relate to the book's main character. Kim Wong Keltner's style is fluid and infused with humor. She could not have put onto paper a more accurate Chinese-American experience for the twenty-something woman.
Rating: 3
Summary: a fun, light read
Comment: I liked this book. As a young Asian American female who grew up in San Francisco, the setting for this book, the protagonist's experience struck a chord with me. Sure, maybe it doesn't aspire to high literary aspirations but nonetheless, it's smart, hip, and fun to read. I especially liked the way Keltner characterized the kooky aunts in the novel--they were laugh-out-loud funny and the hoarders of all things Asian. Keltner writes from the perspective of a girl in her mid-20's who's coming to terms with her Chinese heritage and a budding romance. If I were to criticize anything about the book, it would be that the story line could be stronger (what was the climax of the novel?) and that the chapter on her trip to China could be more developed.

Summary: i laughed, i cried..i couldn't put this book down!!.
Comment: This book is funny and honest. Reading all the negative feedback made me want to write a postive review for Ms. Keltner's book. People this is not a serious work of literature do not mistake it for Ibsen or Tolstoy. It is a feel good ,light hearted read.
I don't understand the anger from the men because it's the truth from an ASIAN WOMAN. Maybe it is because they can't accept that.YES I am Asian woman who was reared in San Francisco and has had similar experiences as the character in the book.This book almost mirrored some of my experiences as a former single woman. Thank You Ms. Wong-Keltner for writing a book that I could totally relate to!!! BRAVO!!
