Not only is he successful\nand easy on the eyes, to her parents’ delight, he’s also Chinese. He’s\neverything she should wish for, until a disastrous dinner reveals Alex isn’t as\nperfect as she thinks. Worse, he doesn’t think she’s perfect either.\n\nWith\nboth sets of parents against their relationship, a family legacy about to shut\ndown, and the reappearance of an old high school flame, Jasmine must scheme to\nfind a solution that satisfies her family’s expectations and can get her out of\nthe donut trap once and for all.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0063069806\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0063069806.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tieu, Julie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
