I just read this book last night, and it really touched me.
I would highly recommend.
My heart goes out to Wen.
This book would make a touching, amazing movie.

I loved it! I have suggested it to my book club and we are meeting tonight to discuss it. I can’t wait to see if they were moved the way I was.

Thank you, Jace. Finding that story you can connect with is definitely wonderful, a rare gemstone indeed. Plus, it also helps when the story is well-written and entertaining as well. (Amid the tears, I also found myself smiling at some passages.)

Great review! I can tell how profoundly it touched you. Isn’t it wonderful when you find a story that you can connect with on such a deep level?

It’s difficult to really label this a tragic love story, although it does entail a great deal of tragedy. What really lingered for me was the actual love, the togetherness, the lessons, the bonds and the growth experienced by Shu Wen. And even Kejun’s sacrifice was incredibly moving.

Glad you liked the review and if you do give it a go, I hope you enjoy the book too.

This sounds really moving. I usually steer away from books with tragic love stories, I just don’t have the heart for them, but I might give this one a go. Thanks for the review!
