Helpful Score: 2

I really loved Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Peony in Love, however, Shanghai Girls was not the same for me. I hate the ending of the book, which leaves a million questions to the reader. If there is a sequel, I won't read it. I liked the main character, Pearl, well enough, but did not particularly care for her sister, May. About halfway through the book, I found it so boring that I almost put it down. I did continue reading it and finished it, but I could only give this book two stars. Lisa See's two previous books mentioned earlier were much, much better - this one was a disappointment.
