I read this book for asian-am
Lit in college. It was a good course with a great instructor who is also an author. He happened to be friends with Shawn and brought him to class one day. After all of the history and more "serious" six novels that we had to read, this one was much lighter. Shawn told us that he wrote this book basically for his sister(s)(?) who wanted a sexy beach book. ( )
