Great book! I loved the blending of old and modern culture to form a unique one all it's own. The characters were relatable. I loved the mystery, the love story, and the personal growth stories. Great novel, would recommend!

This book was such a pleasant surprise. It was darker than I expected but it was balanced nicely with humor. Very well written and a nice peak into a culture I don't know enough about. Very well written. I definitely want to read more by this author.

I had low expectations because the premise sounded trite, but I was pleasantly surprised! Humorous and touching at the same time.
