Light read but charming, and with a Hallmark ending. ( ) This is a lovely story - charming, flawed characters with sincere emotions find their way through complicated relationships: a daughter with a biological mother, a biological mother with that adopted daughter's father, best friends, and a first-generation Japanese daughter with her parents. I loved the messiness! Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In this brilliant new novel by from Emiko Jean, comes a whip-smart, laugh-out-loud funny, and utterly heartwarming novel about motherhood, daughterhood, and love - how we find it, keep it, and how it always returns. One phone call changes everything. At thirty-five, Mika Suzuki's life is a mess. Her last relationship ended in flames. Her roommate - slash - best friend might be a hoarder. She's a perpetual disappointment to her traditional Japanese parents. And, most recently, she's been fired from her latest dead-end job. Mika is at her lowest point when she receives a phone call from Penny - the daughter she placed for adoption sixteen years ago. Penny is determined to forge a relationship with her birth mother, and in turn, Mika longs to be someone Penny is proud of. Faced with her own inadequacies, Mika embellishes a fact about her life. What starts as a tiny white lie slowly snowballs into a fully-fledged fake life, one where Mika is mature, put-together, successful in love and her career. The details of Mika's life might be an illusion, but everything she shares with curious, headstrong Penny is real: her hopes, dreams, flaws, and Japanese heritage. The harder-won heart belongs to Thomas Calvin, Penny's adoptive widower father. What starts as a rocky, contentious relationship slowly blossoms into a friendship and, over time, something more. But can Mika really have it all-love, her daughter, the life she's always wanted? Or will Mika's deceptions ultimately catch up to her? In the end, Mika must face the truth - about herself, her family, and her past - and answer the question, just who is Mika in real life? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
