The story is fine. There is nothing new or extraordinary, but a story doesn't need to, to be enjoyable. 

The couple is cute and the story has pulled at my heartstrings. Though, the beginning was rather hard to get through. All the discription and explanations constantly read like my university textbook on Chinese culture. This got progressively better somewhere around ch 5, though from time to time there would still be a paragraph like that.

All in all a solid 3.5

We forgive for our indulgences, and this was certainly worth forgiving a few stilted dialogs or tropey scenes. In fact, they worked most of the time! Would have been a solid 4☆s save for a personal taste issue with the main character.

I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and honestly review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

This was real cute! It was a fun and playful retelling, with sweet characters. The dynamics between them weren’t mind blowing, but they were enjoyable and I found myself getting quite attached to them.

I felt the plot dragged a little in the second half of the book - the editing could be a little tighter, and I felt like it needed to wrap up a little sooner. The villain was a little predictable, but not so much that it was annoying. It all made sense and made for an enjoyable ride.

Cute read, would recommend!
