Helpful Score: 5
Doesn't have the pizazz of Keltner's first book, _The Dim Sum of All Things_, but this one does make a valiant effort of continuing the story of Lindsey Owyang and her life and love(s). Partially what makes this book so funny is that her fiance works for a militant Vegan magazine and the people running it are *nuts*! I'm Vegan too, but I'm not about to try and sniff out meat on someone else's breath for accusatory reasons.
Cute, fast, no "brainer" type of read.

About the Author
In the fourth grade, Kim Wong Keltner won a cutthroat spelling bee, which encouraged her aspirations as a writer. Over the years, she honed her ear for dialogue by listening to elderly Chinese women dish dirt over endless games of mahjong. She met her husband at a Chaucer seminar when she stretched out her hand and said, "Come with me if you want to live." They now reside in San Francisco's Sunset District, where all the other Chinese people live.
