Book description
On the outside, twenty-eight-year-old Fiona Yu appears to be just
another Hello Kitty--an educated, well-mannered Asian American woman.
Secretly, she feels torn between the traditional Chinese values of her
family and the social mores of being an American girl.
To escape the burden of carrying her family's honor, Fiona decides
to take her own virginity. In the process, she makes a surprising
discovery that reunites her with a long-lost friend, Sean Killroy.
Sean introduces her to a dark world of excitement, danger, cunning,
and cruelty, pushing her to the limits of her own morality. But
Fiona's father throws her new life into disarray when he dupes her
into an overnight trip that results in a hasty engagement to Don Koo,
the spoiled son of a wealthy chef.
Determined to thwart her parents' plans to marry her off into Asian
suburbia, Fiona seeks her freedom at any price. How far will she go to
bury the Hello Kitty stereotype forever? Fiona's journey of
self-discovery is biting and clever as she embraces her true nature
and creates her own version of the American Dream,
eliminating--without fear or remorse--anyone who stands in her way.
