As an adoptive parent I loved the shared emotions and thoughts of the main character. As a Mother of a child who lives in China, I found a lot of the information and details to be accurate and very interesting. I got the book as a free read for my Kindle but enjoyed the entertaining aspect of this book very much! I REALLY liked that the book took turns one would not expect instead of the predictable route! As a Chinese immigrate, I thought I could somehow relate to the story. However, I was more disappointed than I could describe. First even myself with an ESL background felt cheated by the poorly and carelessly written language. Second, it might be entertaining for someone who had never been to China or someone who went to China a long time ago and thinks things will never change as time goes on. Third, i feel Mia never really appreciated her culture roots. She presented herself as an outsider looking down with anger and, should I say, a sense of arrogant. The author is not a bad story maker and I am sure some people find it entertaining to read. Just don't expect anything beyond entertainment.
I liked the story a lot, but something about the writing seemed a little off to me.

Won't say it is the best written book, I've ever read, but the story was good.
