It was a fun read, with scrumptious descriptions of culinary endeavors. However the plot was a little predictable and the main character a little dense when it came to the final act. I did like the fact that she was able to defend herself and her friend without male assistance, girl power, woop woop. I also enjoyed the insight into Asian American culture, both the good and the bad. Overall, a fun read with some nice high points but a little underwhelming plot wise.
