Fantasticly refreshing contemporary tale of a Japanese girl who is attempting to become a more dedicated Christian. I couldn't put it down! Camy Tang has a unique writing style that is easy to relate to. The main character, Trish is a young working woman. She is trying to follow some "rules" but constantly runs into obstacles.
Though not bad, the book was going really well until near the end when it threw me for a loop. Granted it played out well, but still just not what I was expecting from this book. I still love how the author writes and how the characters are so relateable. But I feel this could have ended a nicer way.

Sushi Series Book 2
Trish Sakai wants to show the cousins, who are also her best friends, she let down that she's serious about being a better Christian. She'll get her Divinity degree and volunteer at church more, that should do it. When things are going wrong lately she's sure it's punishment from God for her sins the past year. Changing isn't so easy though when her grandma keeps trying to get her back together with her irresistible non-Christian ex-boyfriend.
This book has some real life situations that are pretty intense and yet mixed with humor. It shows the struggle to understand forgiveness and that you can't earn it from God. And that sometimes even when we change there're consequences to our past that follow us but we must move forward, excepting God's grace.
This series starts with Sushi for One? and then book 1.1, The Sushi Toss, which is a short, free read on Camy Tang's blog. Book three is Venus's tale in Single Sashimi and finishes with Jennifer in Weddings and Wasabi. A unique series worth reading.
