Chargement... Loveboat Reunionpar Abigail Hing Wen
   Books Read in 2023 (3,234) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  dmareena | Apr 13, 2022 |   What I can comment on is the book itself. I did not read Loveboat, Taipei prior to reading the second book. Someday, I will have to read book number one to find out what happened on the Loveboat in more detail. This was an interesting book. I enjoyed the story; I feel like we can all remember the do they/don't they like me or being a teen/adult. I loved the reference to the moon festival when they were kids, the picture and the story that went with it were great. I will have to be careful who I recommend the book to because of the swears (don't get me wrong, I love a well placed swear word), as some people are offended by swears.

It was a light reading that brought another dimension to the characters. Sofie doesn't just think about boys and marrying rich, but Xavier doesn't just ignore his family.
Comparing with the previous one, the book does get into the topic of how Asian families are and that's very present, specially in the Xavier chapters. But this book also seemed to be more about young people and their struggles. I liked a lot that the writer picked this characters and showed their struggles, their pain and their fears. I think I came to like this one better than the previous one.
As for the writing, it was marvelously done. The sites were beautifully described. I usually find long descriptions boring but in this case, I hoped for it. Abigail Hing Wen's writing style is easy to read for long periods and the story in this collection was fresh. This author is my new auto buy.
Looking forward to see how the movie is. (
