الوصف

From Booklist Yu and Kan's novel centers around three young Chinese American women looking for love and career success in New York City. M. J. is a successful sportswriter who dreams of becoming an on-air reporter, but fears her gender is an obstacle. Despite some setbacks, her star is rising, and when she reconnects with her high-school boyfriend, she thinks everything might finally be falling into place, until she discovers he hasn't changed as much as she'd hoped. Alex, a lawyer, is grappling with the absence of a love life and trying to work through her feelings for her unrequited college love. A stockbroker who plays to win, Lin finds herself falling under the spell of a charming new recruit at work and jeopardizing her job to be with him. Though readers may see the characters' paths to love long before they do, Yu and Kan's heroines are eminently likable, and their adventures in love and on the job do ring true.
