Hummingbirds Fly Backwards by Amy Cheung
5.0
Thank you to Amazon Publishing and Netgalley for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
This book is beautifully written. It follows the story of Chow Jeoi, a lingerie saleswoman, who is in love and having an affair with a married man, and her two friends, Chui Yuk and Yau Ying, who are also somewhat unlucky in love. When I read a quick summary of what this book was about, I didn't think I would be able to sympathise with the main character being 'the other woman', but Amy Cheung managed to convey the emotions and heartbreak of it beautifully. By the end of the book, my heart was breaking for Chow Jeoi, and I feel like I need to know what happens next. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would happily recommend to all on Goodreads to pick this book up!
