This book was just awesome and funny at the same time, and yet it hit a very touchy subject of rape and what a person has to go through in order to overcome the fear and reality of such a horrible event. In this book Lex must find a boyfriend before her cousin's marriage or else she'll never be able to get funding from her very rich grandmother for her volleyball team's tournament games. But can she find the right guy and will she ever stop flinching when one tries to touch her? Just an awesome book and Lex's personality just draws you in and makes you root for her through the whole book!

Best Christian chick lit I've read in a while...and that's saying a lot! Tang writes a great heroine, making you feel like one of the family (who happen to be Asian). It deals with the after effects of a rape years ago (the story is retold, not written as it happened) and does so with tact and wisdom. I can't wait to read more by Camy Tang!
Sushi For One? By Camy Tang
Sushi Series Book 1
Alexis Sakai's life has just taken a few unexpected turns. The biggest one is that her grandma has declared she gets a serious boyfriend or else. And yes, her grandma has the power to enforce or else. Lex finds that going against Grandma can be like trying to climb a waterfall. She does keep running into one guy but he just don't fit her list of what she wants in a man.
This story is both serious and humorous. Four cousins have become Christians and they still struggle with their new beliefs at times. This series is about these four gals and their struggles with life and family. As the next four oldest single girls they are in the sights of the family. And it's a very, very large family. I find the story to be captivating and held my attention so it was hard to put it down.
Book 1.1 is The Sushi Toss, which is a short, free read on Camy Tang's blog. The Series continues with Trish's story in Only Uni, Venus's tale in Single Sashimi and finishes with Jennifer in Weddings and Wasabi.
