On the outside, twenty-eight-year-old Fiona Yu appears to be just another Hello Kitty--an educated, well-mannered Asian American woman. Secretly, she feels torn between the traditional Chinese values of her family and the social mores of being an American girl. To escape the burden of carrying her family's honor, Fiona decides to take her own virginity. In the process, she makes a surprising discovery that reunites her with a long-lost friend, Sean Killroy. Sean introduces her to a dark world of excitement, danger, cunning, and cruelty, pushing her to the limits of her own morality. But Fiona's father throws her new life into disarray when he dupes her into an overnight trip that results in a hasty engagement to Don Koo, the spoiled son of a wealthy chef. Determined to thwart her parents' plans to marry her off into Asian suburbia, Fiona seeks her freedom at any price. How far will she go to bury the Hello Kitty stereotype forever? Fiona's journey of self-discovery is biting and clever as she embraces her true nature and creates her own version of the American Dream, eliminating--without fear or remorse--anyone who stands in her way.… (mehr)

I read this book in one sitting at the library to take my mind off of my dog's death the day before. It really helped cheer me up. It's dark and hilarious as hell. Any book about a woman who goes to get hymen repair surgery and ends up falling in love with her murderous surgeon is definitely worth a read to me! Thanks for the laughs Ms. Choi! ( )

Interesting concept (Margaret Cho hangs with Quentin Tarantino), but not very well executed. Cute and amusing at times, but rushed and incomplete at others. ( )

The Conversations of Fiona and her father is very funny.

Well, I just finished the book. It was much more interesting than I thought it would be. Actually, it was nothing like I thought it would be.

**Warning: Possible Spoilers Ahead**

It starts out about a Chinese-American woman who is having issues with her family. Mainly, she doesn't want to get married and her dad keeps setting her up with other Chinese guys. It starts off as a very feminist book. After all, she wants to take her own virginity because she doesn't want to give it up to a guy. But then her friend Sean is introduced and things start turning darker.

Lots of black humor. There were parts of it that had me laughing out loud. There were parts of it that made me wonder why I was reading this. But, at the end, the term Hello Kitty really stands for something. A female that does whatever her family says and who doesn't do anything to stand up for herself. It is interesting. I would willingly read another book by this author. ( )

If you love that ubiquitous little Japanese icon of kitsch . . . this book is NOT for you. If you are a fan of Chuck Palahniuk' s work, however, this might be for you. It is sort of a Asian Girl's Guide How Not To Date. To say any more would be to give too much away except that this is not an Amy Tan novel either.

Angelina Choi takes us across may cultural taboos concerning dating and family honor and it is not too much of a stretch to say that this plot line could easily be adapted to any ethnicity, it just happens to be Chinese in this case.

Very dark, but very humorous in a twisted sort of way that fans of the surreal will enjoy. Not your typical summer reading fare, but hard to put down. Four stars for me on this as it is just short of groundbreaking! ( )

Buchbeschreibung
Eine junge Chinesin in San Francisco: Den Traditionalismus ihrer Eltern im Kreuz und die Herausforderung totaler Freiheit vor sich, trifft Fiona Yu einen alten Schulfreund wieder, der sich vom Außenseiter zum eleganten Serienkiller gemausert hat. Gemeinsam erleben sie eine rasante Zeit jenseits aller gängigen Klischees von Leidenschaft und Sex. Dass eine gehörige Zahl von Menschen für diese Vision mit dem Leben bezahlt, ist es ihnen wert.
