If this wasn't an assigned book for a writing class, I would never have picked it up. I'm sure it's someone's cup of tea, but it isn't mine. Flat characters, predictable storyline, and I rolled my eyes more times than I can count. Who in the hell eats this much chicken marsala in a month? And this thing with the shoes...it seemed thrown in there for no real reason.

That being said, parts of it were very funny. While the characters are flat, Min is believable. Truthfully, the best chapter was the last one. It was charming and funny.
