I am not one who is drawn to the "chick-lit" format, but having seen Cami around on other blogs, Novel Journey, and the ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers), I was curious about SUSHI FOR ONE. When I received it as part of a review group I belong to, and saw quotes like "hilarious romance" and "entertaining romp", I again sighed thinking I was in for a slap-stick comedy with no depth or true story. Let me say, I was pleasantly surprised! Though SUSHI FOR ONE does indeed have its humorous situations, the weight of the book deals with Lex Sakai, and how she deals with the interference of her extremely tight-knit family.
I really enjoyed the development of Lex's character, a women striving for independence in a culture where woman are expected to be marriage-minded. I'm so glad I was able to read this entertaining novel. This was a typical case of - "Don't judge a book by its cover."♥
