I just finished Soy Sauce for Beginners and gave it 3 stars. The character was unbelievable as a 30 something Asian woman. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought the author had an Asian fetish instead of being Asian. Not saying Asians don't make bad choices but too much prodigal daughter and not enough realistic portrayal of Asian life. I'm disappointed.

I just finished Soy Sauce for Beginners and gave it 2 stars. I wasn't impressed. It read like the author took the plot from a current 30- something fluff romance and changed ethnicities. The only part that rang true for me was the character's responsibility to her family. I walked away feeling this story tried too hard to portray overt assimilation.
