I love that this wasn't billed as a holiday romance, but it really is! Starting from Thanksgiving break all the way through Chinese New Year and Valentine's! This is also a college-aged protagonist! I really loved reading and learning more about the cultural aspects of being a Taiwanese American especially during the holidays, as well as figuring out who you are versus whom your parents and community expect you to be.

A solid middle book in the trilogy, kept me guessing, and also intrigued! Can't wait for Payback (literally and figuratively!)
