Thoroughly enjoyed this read - it was light and fun and quite real. ( ) I did not enjoy this book. Jess Harper, the main character was so self-centered, shallow and mean at times. She is supposed to be a professional, she gets a chance to go Japan and lies in her interview that she speaks Japanese. That doesn't sit well with me! When she gets there, bad things happen like her boss claims her designs as his own. It doesn't make any sense when this one dimensional character learns begins to appreciate Japan for its beauty and differences. I was still mad at her for treating everyone so bad at the beginning. There just was not that much about Japan. I did like that the grammar was fine and there were no mispelled words and also the cover is a cute in a way. I would not recommend this book, I did not like it. no reviews | add a review
Jess Harper's personal life is a mess.She hasn't had a haircut since 2006 and she doesn't have time to find better friends than the self-centred associates she's had since University.And instead of searching for love, she's settled for 'friends with benefits' status with one of her buddies. Yet none of that matters, because professionally she's living the dream, and has just scored a highly coveted assignment in Japan with the promise of a promotion on her return.But when she arrives in Japan, instead of the smooth integration she anticipated, Jess finds herself wrongfully fired, abandoned and broke in a country where she doesn't speak the language.Now she must rebuild her life and clear her name. But the friendly locals and allure of the ex-pat lifestyle soon have her reconsidering her priorities and challenging her views on climbing the corporate ladder. With a new job as an English teacher and the temptation of her cute (but already attached) roommate, Jess discovers that although life doesn't always turn out as planned, maybe that's not such a bad thing.
