This was much deeper, darker and more emotional than I expected from a “romance” novel. The narrator especially brought a lot of emotion and depth to the character of Anna that made it almost painful to listen to in a few parts. I certainly felt Anna’s pain in my gut and hated her family on her behalf! Her relationship with Quan was at times secondary to the plot but was a sweet and solid underpinning to the whole thing. I liked him a lot.
