It was really interesting. It is kind of like a long distance version of tinder but the dynamics are completely different. It was fun to see the ideals that the Asian women thought American men are. However, I didn't necessarily like the way that American women are portrayed in this book by the American men. It seemed to me they were often trying to justify why their marriages hadn't worked out. (They should at least own up to the fact that marriage means two people working together and they played a part in its failure).

It was a struggle towards the end when it got to the history and conclusion though. Maybe if there had been some women's quotes from the 50's-70's it would have been more enjoyable to follow.
