I did not like the main character of this book. She was very naive and thought that love was everything. She was very demanding and burdensome. But I did like that I learned some things about chinese culture and language. It is a fast read, and the main character did seem to grow up at the end. But reading this book is basically the same as watching the worst couple in the world argue, and fight, and make up, over and over again for a few hours.
