A review by kirmelmacchiato
The Leftover Woman by Jean Kwok

2.0

This was just okay. The plot twists were predictable and I never felt like I was in any kind of suspense.

The characters felt a little flat and stereotypical in an unflattering way. I had absolutely no interest in Jasmine’s village boy romance storyline. The whole book felt a little hollow and contrived.

There were obvious tones of typical progressive themes, but that’s to be expected. If the book was a little better I could have overlooked them.
