Finally, after all these years and RZ not even looking like Jones anymore, I read it! I have to say, I've seen the movie so many times that I had no trouble putting faces to names. This book far out-scores THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, though, as I could read it and/or watch the movie with equal enjoyment. But I have to say the movie does a better job of creating tension between Jones and Darcy. There was still an awful lot of brand-name dropping in the book, too. Is all chick-lit like this? I don't read that much of it, but I was starting to get tired of it. Anyway, Bridget Jones and her diary are officially off my bucket list.
This pleasant, well-written book was a wonderful way to pass the time while I was stuck on airplanes and in airports waiting for airplanes. Mei-Ling Hopgood writes beautifully about her experiences with both her birth and adoptive families. It was a little like a real-life Joy Luck Club when she describes the antics and adventures of her birth family. It was both interesting and heartbreaking learning some of the history and culture Mei-Ling Hopgood shares throughout the book.
