  “Clever title with a good glimpse into assimilated Chinese culture while still boring.”

  “Like reading Margaret Cho instead of seeing her stand up (and yes, I know that Cho is Korean and Keltner is Chinese). It's a funny love story about what it's like to grow up in San Fransisco and get involved in an interracial love affair.”

  “This was a cute story about a twenty-something Chinese-American living in San Francisco. She lives with her grandmother (perfect for the lovelife), works as a receptionist (really using that college degree!), and trying to deal with her family, her heritage, and dating.
  
  This was a fun read. There were a few laugh-out-loud moments, but mostly it was a nice story about a young woman trying to find her place in the world. I would recommend this to readers of chick lit.”

  “Can you read a city? That's what I felt while eating this book in one evening... I couldn't escape it. It was a treat to read an Asian American woman's experience in San Francisco--I thought, how does she know my city so well... The book answered many of my uncomfortable questions about Asian American women and culture... more later.”
