It was harder to get into this one. Another review said the book was exactly the same as the first but with different characters. I have to agree. But once I got into it the world of Vera Wong I did enjoy it.
I enjoyed the first Vera Wong book enough to want to pick this one up when it was released. I was very excited to dive into it, but ultimately just felt disappointed.
This one covers a much heavier topic than the first, and I was not prepared for that, especially with the amount of cozy woven through the whole thing.

Either way, I'm still not upset that I put time into reading it, but I don't think I'll be interested in picking up the next …
