Angela Choi's debut novel blows apart the stereotype of Asian-American women as docile "Hello Kitties." Her deeply cynical, completely irreverent protagonist frees herself from a life of arranged dates and embraces a childhood friend whose adult hobby happens to be serial murder. Choi offers a rich and hilarious satire in which no topic is safe from criticism, be it funerals, virginity, corporate law firms, Asian cultural traditions, or societal standards of beauty and propriety. Well-written with razor-sharp dialogue that pulls the reader in. Highly recommended!
