funny lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.75

Personally I found all the prejudices easier to ignore in this one, so it was easier to actually enjoy the book.
However this book did not need to be that long, a lot of the book was name-dropping in relation to food, clothes, jewelry and cars. It felt unnecessary.

A good follow-on to the first book, and a twist for the main character Rachel Chu. I do wish that her character was developed a bit more though, Kevin made her out to be a humble working class Chinese American but in this book that seems to go away.
