"...described as 'virgin snow' and a 'blank piece of paper that she yearned to fill." ~Pauline Loh, Lion Boys and Fan Girls
The beginning of the book is rough. There are so many unnecessary descriptions and petty drama between boys. Debating about height? And not an Asian author trying to whitewash us Asian characters *sigh* The building of romance (Mercury and Millicent) and family relationships (Mercury and Mr Charlie) were so brief, at times it felt borderline invasive (Prome forcing Sophia to come when drunk) . I barely cared for the mystery that's all.
At least it provided some information of the Lion Dance culture which I have grown up with and loved. However, it can be much for someone who has no clue and interest in Chinese culture.
☆1.5 Stars☆
