so-soThis has been on my #mountTBR for awhile, and it wasn‘t as good as I hoped.
Lina is married to Wei but had originally fallen for his brother Qiang. When Lina and Wei return to China after working in the US for 20 years, Qiang gets in touch, and Lina must confront her feelings.
The other storyline involves Sunny, their maid turned personal assistant, a theft, and working as a single woman in Shanghai.
The book has potential but lacks sizzle.
Megabooks @TheAromaofBooks this is my actual #bookspin 😊 3y
Cinfhen Your review still has me interested …I think I bought this one awhile back on #Kindle / im not rushing to read it maybe I‘ll add audio narration at a later date 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen the audiobook quality was great. I think if the premise intrigues you, go audio! 3y

Megabooks @Cinfhen hey, no problem!! Weekend was very chill, which is why I was able to get in so much reading. Kind of back at it tomorrow. I take dad to therapy, but fortunately, 🤞🏻🤞🏻 we‘ve hit a lull in activity, so I‘m getting some time on my own, which has been fantastic!! I‘m getting a major haircut on Thursday, which I‘m excited about. I think I‘m going to get 3 inches off and update my helix to give it volume! 👏🏻👏🏻💇🏻♀️ what about you?? 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen also I bought a new mattress. I‘m excited to try a different type of tempur-pedic. I went with the hybrid instead of just foam, but it won‘t arrive for 3-4 months. 👎🏻 this is probably a really boring update! 😂🤪 3y
Cinfhen It‘s actually just what I like hearing… normalcy!! I need a new mattress too!!! I‘m glad things at home are quieting down😁 3y
Cinfhen It‘s been REALLY great having Niki & Adam around. Even Zach has taken off the week so we‘re just hanging out. Lots of low key outings & meals out 😁although last night I had 2 of my siblings and all their kids ( aged 5-24 - total of 8 kids) for a family bbq!! It was really nice but A LOT of work!! My youngest brother‘s kids are VERY WILD & im not used to all the jumping, shouting and messiness!!!! I‘m wiped out today 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen lol! Never use the Q-word with anyone medical!! It‘s like telling an actor good luck! But thank you for the support!! Omg, no wonder you‘re wiped out. That is A LOT of kids, but I‘m glad you‘re with family and having fun!! I can‘t wait to hear more stories next week!! 💜💜💜 it‘s midnight and I‘m actually yawning so 🤞🏻 I can get some sleep!! 3y
