Really cute story. Would have liked a bit more development in some of the characters, and in the romance, but overall MISS FORTUNE COOKIE is a sweet, nice book that I was able to read quickly. It's one of those that you kinda fall into and doesn't ask you to do anything but sit back and enjoy the ...
I’ve had this book on my TBR list for a long time (literally years), so I quickly grabbed the chance to get to read this one as part of a book tour. It was a nice light read, and pretty short so it was a nice change to the long books I’ve been reading lately. I instantly liked Roz (and Eva, even tho...

I loved the realistic relationship between these three girls -- the book really captures that strange mix of love and competitiveness that can sometimes characterize female friendships. Miss Fortune Cookie was also funny --there's a whole subplot involving an elopement and an extended chase scene th...
The main reason I requested Miss Fortune Cookie from the publisher was because I love reading books about different cultures. I also like reading contemporary novels that are not too serious. I AM glad I requested this novel and read it, but in some ways it disappointed me. The number one reason I w...
The description of this book sounds so good. So why did not I like it? I was so excited to read this one, I kept it to be the last one I read from the 3 books I received from Lenore. I really thought that this one would be the best of those three books. But no. I was extremely disappointed with this...
