A simple fun read that portrays the experience of a young Chinese girl learning English in a foreign country. It provides some interesting insights into interracial relationship, relationships with a big age gap, and cultural clashes.
The novel was written from the girl's perspective, like a journal. So, the writing is filled with grammatical errors. Being a Chinese, I can understand most of the writing but I wonder how much an English speaker can understand. For example, the phrase "Ghost of Hunger" was used to describe the girl being very hungry. That's basically Chinglish.
