    About this audiobook

    “Sushi for One? is an entertaining romp into the world of multi-culturalism. I loved learning the idiosyncrasies of Lex’s crazy family—which were completely universal. Enjoy!”—Kristen Billerbeck, author of What a Girl Wants“In Lex Sakai, Camy Tang gives us a funny, plucky, volleyball-playing heroine with way too many balls in the air. I defy anyone to start reading and not root for Lex all the way to the story’s romantic, super-satisfying end.”—Trish Perry, author of The Guy I’m Not DatingLex Sakai’s family is big, nosy, and marriage-minded. When her cousin Mariko gets married, Lex will become the oldest single cousin in the clan. Lex has used her Bible study class on Ephesians to compile a huge list of traits for the perfect man. But the one man she keeps running into doesn’t seem to have a single quality on her list. It’s only when the always-in-control Lex starts to let God take over that all the pieces of this hilarious romance finally fall into place.

      Who rules the roost in this Asian family? Grandma, of course, and she wants Lex to get serious about finding a boyfriend and/or husband ASAP or she will pull her financial support of Lex's volleyball team. Every cousin tries to set her up with some guy because Grandma is pulling the strings. We are treated to the saga of Lex's job changes, housing changes, family squabbles and personal tragedies. She wants a Christian man. Can she ever find one before the volleyball season is over? It's a fast read and a sweet story. My thanks to the author and Goodreads for a complimentary copy

      It's a little complicated, this whole business regarding Lex Sakai's becoming (or avoiding becoming?) the oldest single female cousin in her family. Her quest of multiple objectives in Sushi for One? by author Camy Tang takes a lot of turns, and I, while reading about it, had to hang on for the ride.The novel's opening, and several other moments along the way, had me laughing out loud, and I took to the heroine right away: funny, flawed, sometimes rash about the mouth, tomboyish, passionate about sports, with a figure folks criticize for not being curvy enough--whatever that is. (Hey, lithe women are beautiful, too!) The story's romance is well paced, and the volleyball sequences put me in the mood for the Summer Olympics. In the mood to watch them, that is.There are a lot of mishaps and spillings, the theme concerning Lex's sensitive stomach makes for some "disgustamundo" parts, and most of the zany characters who sail through, and some who reappear, aren't exactly likable. (Which is part of the story's point, granted.) But genuine displays of friendship and family loyalty through painful experience put me in tears. Real tears that required me to pause from reading for a while.I've got to read more of the Sushi Series.

      A few too many worn plot twists to be really good. The guy the protagonist likes becomes a Christian. Certain family members seem one-dimensional. Too many "bad things" happen and are not really dealt with.

      I think it's great though that this novel explores Japanese and Chinese culture and how Christianity fits in with it. I just believe it deserved a better plot and ending
    • 4/5
      I downloaded this book for free from Amazon to try Kindle for iPod. Why this book? I like sushi. :-) The book won me over. I found the writing quick moving, interesting and engaging. The setup of the intense family pressure Lex feels is very realistic in Japanese culture. I enjoyed the search to make family happy while being true to ones own values. I was afraid the Christian philosophies were going to overwhelm the story. It didn't and I am grateful. As a Christian, I do not like it when authors overwhelm the story by trying to paint Christians as either fanatical or justified. I like how Tang introduced it without pushing it. Belief is intensely personal and I appreciate it being painted as such.There were some scenes under done, but most were well laid out and interesting. Very nice novel.

      A fresh voice in the Christian chick lit genre, this fun read is a welcome addition to my library. The main character, Lex, is an Asian american living in California. Her main passions in life are sports, specifically volleyball, and her Christian faith. But, aside from 3 of her cousins, no one in her family shares her faith and she is under a lot of pressure from her grandmother to find a boyfriend and settle down. This is because she is the new OFSC (oldest female single cousin). Her grandmother is even threatening to withdraw her funding the the girls volleyball team Lex coaches, unless Lex shows up with a boyfriend at ther cousin's wedding. Will Lex be able to meet her grandmother's demands while stil maintaining her Christian standards?This was a really fun read, and while parts of it were too coincidental to ring true (how many times can she "accidentally" run into the same guy?) that just becomes part of the fun. I appreciated the infusion of the authors culture into the story, and the helpful tongue in cheek glossary she includes. All Christian chick lit fans should put this at the top of their "to read" list!
