Sushi For One?<\/a>
\nby Camy Tang<\/a>
\nBook One Of The Sushi Series
\nPublisher: Zondervan
\nPub. Date: September 2007
\nISBN-13: 9780310273981
\n352pp<\/p>\n

From the back cover:<\/strong>
\nLex Sakai\u2019s family is big, nosy and marriage-minded. When her cousin Mariko gets married, Lex will become the oldest single female cousin in the clan.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em>Lex has used her Bible study class on Ephesians to compile a huge list of traits for the perfect man. But the one man she keeps running into doesn\u2019t seem to have a single quality on her list. It\u2019s only when the always-in-control Lex starts to let God take over that all the pieces of this hilarious romance finally fall into place.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

===========================
\nI purchased this novel at last month\u2019s ACFW conference in Dallas. This is the first time I\u2019ve ever read a Christian fiction title with Asian characters, so I was eager to see how the story played out. I\u2019m always anxious to see Christian novels portraying characters with different ethnic backgrounds.<\/p>\n

This book is definitely chick-lit! Camy\u2019s voice reminds me a lot of Kristin Billerbeck\u2019s. The story is full of humor and Tang has created a strong character that will remain in your mind for a long time. Lex is a sports fanatic, and she loves volleyball. She\u2019s in a dead-end job and when she quits on a whim, she soon finds herself landing the job of her dreams, working in the field she loves\u2026sports!<\/p>\n

She also wants to play pro-volleyball, and when her dream is about to come true, a serious incident occurs, causing her faith in God to waver even more. To top it all off, her grandmother is threatening to pull funding for the girls volleyball team that Lex coaches, if Lex doesn\u2019t find a boyfriend soon.<\/p>\n

Due to a traumatic event in her past, Lex finds it hard to get close to men. The one man whom she can be comfortable with, Aiden, is agnostic, definitely not one of the traits on Lex\u2019s Ephesian\u2019s list!<\/p>\n

I\u2019d recommend this book to those looking for a light, funny, chick-lit read. A lot of the qualities in Lex\u2019s crazy family are familiar to us all!<\/p>\n
