Love and Other Moods by Crystal Z. Lee

3.0

Love and other moods is a coming of age story set in contemporary China, about falling in love, learning to adult, finding strength and discovering one's place in the world.
The book is sectioned into many parts, seperated by some wonderful landscape images within the pages. These helped to set the scene in the busy and colourful city of Shanghai – but the flowing vibrant chapters did most of this by itself just with it's words.
Each character is full of life, full of charm and wit. But my loyalties lie with Naomi and her growth as a character during her time transitioning from New York to this alien land that seems to be fighting against her in some ways.
Worth a read for those of you who like a sneaky peek into places far away.
