I enjoyed it, but found it dragged a fair bit in places. The chapters were very long and honestly I wasn't sure where the plot was going for most of the book - even the ending wasn't what I expected but not necessarily in a good way.
The characters seemed flat and 1 dimensional, and I'm not even 100% sure I liked any of them all that much.
The food descriptions were mouth watering and somewhat inspiring. I'd love to try the rice with butter and soy sauce just to taste it.
