review 1: I finished the book for the same reason I started it: the story intrigued me. However the author's writing made it a more difficult read than it should have been. The writing felt juvenile to me, with bland, very basic descriptions of everything rather than painting a picture with words. The dialogue between Mia and Jax, a young man she befriends while in China, feels very unnatural, as though the author is trying too hard to create a flirty conversation between two twenty-something's. while I feel that I learned a lot about the subject (the author is obviously quite knowledgable), overall I was disappointed.
review 2: Excellent book about a college age adoptee returning to China to discover anything she can about her birth parents and the challenges she encoun... moreters while on this quest!I liked learning about Chinese culture and the feelings of some/many adoptees about their adoption from China to American parents/families. The culture, the landscape, the language and customs were all fascinating!!!Highly recommend this book less
