Loving this book! Somewhat reminds me of Snowflower and the Secret Fan.

Ok -- thought I loved this book, but not so much. Started out great and then I just thought that they story lost its voice --- or should I say the main character did. No longer sounded like a Korean girl escaping her world to become something better but a modern day person writing for her. Don't waste your time -- too many other good books out there to read!
