I felt that Fiona and Jane could have had their own, separate books. It would have been interesting to learn more about Jane’s relationship with her father and mother. Although Jane can be impulsive, she felt more calculated, overall.
Fiona’s story was really intriguing to me because she was a little more chaotic in her choices. I empathized with her to some degree in how she acted out when met with challenges.
Overall, I’m really glad I selected this as my January BOTM. I look forward to more of Chen Ho’s writing.
