"Asian-American studies professor Wong presents a romantic comedy about cross-cultural identities. In this light-hearted novel, American born Chinese Raymond Ding finds true happiness with a half-Japanese, half-American beauty."

I looked it up on Amazon, everybody seemed to like it a lot and thought it was a great book. I, on the other hand, could not get into it. It started quite funny, very witty...
