Style of Book: Chick Lit/Romance
Brief Summary: Jen Taylor is a half-Japanese, half-American girl raised in the South pursuing her dreams in Chicago. When her blond hair, blue eyed beautiful baby cousin becomes engaged at 20, Jen comes home to Dixieland for the wedding with Riley, a good friend from work. Once she gets to Dixieland, she finds herself involved in a love triangle with Riley and her childhood crush, Kevin Peterson, who just so happens to be marrying her baby cousin.
Review: 3 out of 5 apples
I liked the way that Lockwood dealt with the culture crisis throughout the book. She showed the need for a delicate balance of both honoring your heritage and still living within your current culture. The love story, while fairly predictable, both engaged and entertained me throughout the book. The secondary characters: Jen's sister, mother, aunt, and cousin especially entertained me for all their various quirks. All in all, it's a quick, but fun read perfect for the summertime!
