Plot- 5 stars ⭐️ (very fun and engaging! Everything I love in a cozy book! Found myself laughing out loud a lot!)
Audiobook- 4 stars ⭐️
Ebook - 3 stars. ⭐️ I did notice some grammatical errors ,which interrupted the overall flow for me. However with one more look over by an editor, this could be an almost perfect romance novella in my opinion!

At the start I was uncertain how I was going to feel about this book, but I’m glad I kept with it because it truly swept me away
Set in the late 1800s this book follows a young girl who is kidnapped from China and smuggled to America where she is forced to adopts many different personas as a way to survive. All of which is happening during a time when the Chinese Exclusion Act was in place restricting immigration from China to the United States.
This story not only brings to light many parts of American history that is often left out of history books, but it also demonstrates that discrimination and prejudice against Asian American individuals is not just something that begin in current time - It is rooted in the very foundation of this country’s history
From the lyrical fairytale like writing to the historically accurate past treatment of Asian, and in this case, Chinese Americans during an unforgivable time in US history, this is a book everyone should read.
Four Treasures of the sky gives a voice to those whose story has been taken away- rewritten and revised. Even deeper it illustrates that the past is destined to be repeated when left buried and hidden away.
Although heartbreaking, I really enjoyed this book!

I think I experienced just about every emotion while reading this book. I’m at a loss for words. It’s definitely a page turner though!

4.5 ⭐️ this book was so much fun! A group of women who have a secret club where they kill off abusive husbands, what’s not to love? I could not put this one down . There were times when I was physically tense and that’s the kind of thrillers I love! This was my first book by this author and I cannot wait to read more!
