"This book is a fun little romp with a Lindsey Owyang, a Chinese American girl who grew up in SF Chinatown. She suffers the trial and tribulation (and joys) of work, dating white guys, Asian guys, friends, family, and city life. If you are interested in Asian culture it is a fun read, you get to see the main character's perspective on life and her own conflicts with her heritage and fitting in with her Chinese kin while really feeling like a typical white girl on the inside. Dim Sum of all things is amusing most of the time and sometimes touching as well.

I actually read the second book 'Buddha Baby' before I found this book and I still think I liked the second book more than the first one. I would recommend that as a great read even if you never read Dim Sum."

"A cute gay love story tinged with reality and fantasy. Short and sweet. Not the most complex amazing plot but pretty good as far as gay romance novels go. Worth ready if you like sweet gay romances with happy endings. ( There are a decent amount of sexy times in it too.)"

"This is my favorite book now. I waited years to read it after I heard about it and then came across it in a thrift store, gave it a chance, and was enraptured. It's not for everyone I'm sure but for some of us it is FANTASTIC. Very original story line. Very sexy. Very interesting. If you like beautiful men, gay men, dystopia, and androgyny you'll do well with this book. I can't wait to read this authors other books.
(If you were/are ever a yaoi fan go for this, go!)"
