It's not that it's the worst thing I've ever read, but I'm throwing in the towel at the phrase "hugged her hips and thighs in all the right places." Yikes.

Partial credit for a wlw relationship and some Chinese culture, but the former felt like it was happening in a bubble (none of the concerns that contemporary wlw face, e.g. wondering if your crush even likes girls) and the latter felt exoticised even in Jane's POV chapters. While I get that both girls are to varying extents "outsiders" to the beliefs and community, it's not just some mystical backdrop for your real life. So I'll be shelving this as LGBTQIA rep but not Asian rep.

ETA: Apparently the author's personal experience with Chinese culture is from her wife, which explains (but doesn't excuse) how it's incorporated into the story. Since there are so many better novels out there, for LGBT+ rep and/or for Asian(-American) rep, I wouldn't recommend this one.
