Book Reviews of Only Uni (The Sushi Series, Book 2)
Book Review: She's Just a Girl Who Cain't Say No
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite loving Sushi for One?, I had my doubts about this book. In the first book of the Sushi Series, Trish Sakai, the heroine of this one, is portrayed as something of a jerk, the reason agnostic Aiden Young refuses to even consider dating Christian women (at least until force of nature book one heroine, Lex Sakai, unintentionally demolishes all of his defenses). But Trish was also the only cousin Lex told about her rape and the rock Lex leaned upon to get her through that. In this book we really get to know Trish Sakai, and it turns out she's really not such a bad person; she's just a girl who cain't say no, either to fattening food or to men, or at least to one man, her Svengali of an ex-boyfriend Kazuo Kawakami.
But this time Trish is determined to turn her life around and devote herself to God and enlists the help of her three cousins, the only other Christians in her large extended family. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time she's asked them to help her pick up the pieces after she's messed up so they are more than a little skeptical, especially when they hear the rather rigid if Biblically based rules she's set for herself. But Trish really, really means it this time.
The trouble is that events seem to be conspiring against her. Trish catches her father kissing another woman, which causes her mother to have a (nonfatal) heart attack when Trish tells her about it; she loses her apartment due to an accidental arsonist of a roommate; the miracle replacement housing she finds turns out to be something that would send Bob Vila running and screaming like a little girl; her attempts to volunteer at church end in disasters of Biblical proportions (Think I'm exaggerating? Read about Pet Day at Sunday School if you dare!); she's still attracted to the creepy Kazuo that Grandmother, the (justly) feared matriarch of the clan is pressuring her to go back to for business reasons and also attracted to her often infuriating colleague at work who also happens to be a volunteer at the very same church Trish is attending; and the consequences of her past mistakes are about to catch up with her.
Like the first book, this novel shouldn't be funny at all, but like the similarly cascading disaster of a movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, this novel is relentlessly, uproariously funny; when things got the most stressful or moving for Trish, they also got the most hilarious.
Of course it is obvious early on how this is all going to turn out, though not to the protagonists, but the fun comes in how Camy Tang gets us there. She kept me guessing 'til the end.
Now that I am well and truly hooked, I look forward to reading Single Sashimi.
Note: Ms. Tang is also the author of a Christian suspense romance series: Deadly Intent and Formula for Danger.
Note: For full disclosure I won this book from the author rather than purchasing it.
Summary of Only Uni (The Sushi Series, Book 2)
Senior biologist Trish Sakai is ready for a change from her wild, flirtatious behavior. So Trish creates three simple rules from First and Second Corinthians and plans to follow them to the letter. No more looking at men as possible dates, especially non-Christians. Second, tell others about Christ. And third, she will persevere in hardship by relying on God. And just to make sure she behaves, she enlists the help of her three cousins, Lex, Venus and Jennifer, the only Christians in their large extended family. But Trish's dangerously tempting ex-boyfriend, Kazuo the artist, keeps popping up at all the wrong moments, and her grandmother, who has her eye on his family money, keeps trying to push the two of them back together again. Then there's Spencer, the hunky colleague at work who keeps turning Trish's thoughts in the wrong direction. It just isn't fair! She's trying so hard, but instead of being God's virtuous woman, she's going nuts trying to stand firm against two hunky guys. Trish thought following her three rules would be a cinch, but suddenly those simple rules don't seem so simple after all.Women's Fiction Books
