My Review
5/5 Stars
Bijou Li has a beautiful way of introducing the reader to new cultures and places. This book is no different. When Yune finds out that her husband is having an affair and the woman might be pregnant, she decides to go look for her and is introduced to a whole new culture. She both finds and loses herself there, finding it so beautiful she’s uncertain if she wants to leave.
The prose is filled with beautiful descriptions that make it easy to visualize just about everything in the story. Bijou Li’s romances are always so unique because they usually involve the MC finding herself in the process rather than just falling mindlessly head over heels like I’ve seen in some romances.
If you like unique romances, this is the book to read.
