Thank you to Favourite Pages Book Club and the author for sending me a free review copy.  In no particular way does this influence my opinion.  

This was a coming of age story set in Shanghai, China following Naomi, a third culture kid. We also get to meet and watch other characters through Naomi. The story is packed and is more than just romance, readers get to see characters experience the up and downs of life. This was very addictive had me just flipping the page.

This book is told in parts with the first part getting to know the characters. I just loved Naomi’s character, watching her grow after her breakup in the beautiful setting of Shanghai. As a third culture kid myself, it was really nice to see my own experiences in the protagonist’s journey. 

I highly recommend this one who are looking for a great contemporary while visiting a new place.
