Wow, what an incredible read. I read this book before I listened to the audio and I'm glad I did. In reading it, I caught all the philosophical commentary and the very accurate perspectives of human behavior/nature. Cole is a smart, astute observer of human nature, all its follies but also its beauties. But she doesn't bog the reader down with boring, judgmental crap. She does it in such a funny, witty and insightful way.

This story was so unique too. For a shorter story, I completely bought the love that built between Trinity and Li Wei. I adored the friendships and the maternal figure of Dolores Zhang. And you can't go wrong with a smart cute cat as a character either. There were some plot holes that never got explained, but on the whole, the story was so good that I forgive the lack of explanation.

This was my first Alyssa Cole and I am very much looking forward to reading her other diverse genre of books.
