This book is very easy reading, extremely entertaining, so uplifting and totally hilarious!! There were many times when my husband would stop me and demand to know why I was laughing so hard. I found myself rooting for the main character (Lex), silently cheering her on and encouraging her to trust in our Heavenly Father. The plot is great and the conversations very real (I'm Chinese, I understand and appreciate all the Chinese/Asian humour, and I'm a girl so I immediately felt connected to Lex). Most of all this book leaves you wanting more!

Sushi For One was a very good read! I was hooked right from the beginning, and read the whole book in about 2 hours. I really liked reading about Asian culture as it wasn't something I was familiar with. Camy Tang did a great job on this book and I can't wait to read the stories about the rest of the cousins!

I love Sushi for One! I found it to be a very enjoyable read. Camy Tang writes very well and the story drew me in right away. I am not very familiar with Asian culture so I also enjoyed learning more through the eyes of the main character.I thoroughly enjoyed Camy's characters. I think she did an amazing job of helping the reader "get to know" them and their idiosyncrasies. If you are looking for a great read give Camy Tang's Sushi for One a try! You won't be sorry!

I'm a big fan of chick lit, and I'm really glad to have picked up Camy's Sushi series. In Sushi for One?, there was so much happening in the story that I felt like I was watching a TV series. I couldnt let the book go because of all the enjoyable characters and scenes Lexs very annoying grandmother, her silly brother who keeps on setting her up with every guy he meets, Aiden, the silent observer and her physical therapist, Mimi, the flirtier cousin and her three closest cousins and friends, Trish, Venus and Jenn. Even if there was a lot happening, everything went well together and was somehow significant as the story goes on.Lex reminded me of myself, and consequently, my other character in my 2006 NaNoWriMo novel, Rain. She was such a control freak, and I knew that if I was thrown into her position (thank God for not having a grandmother like hers!), I would probably be doing the same thing. I felt sorry for her when she lost everything, and sympathized even more when the people she trusted to be there left her alone. As the praise on the back of the book said, I definitely started rooting for Lex until the very end, which was indeed very satisfying.The faith issue in the novel is melded quite well. I loved the scene where Lex finally surrendered it gave me tears when I re-read the part and realized what was really happening. And Im definitely curious about how the Christ painting looked like. I bet Id be crying like a baby once I saw it. The ending felt a bit rushed with all the events that happened one after the other, but it was still a nice wrap-up. Sushi for One? is such a fun book, and it inspired me to continue writing my own chick lit.

"Sushi For One?", Camy Tang's freshman "sushi series" novel, is amazing! Camy is witty and intelligent with a sparkling personality, and this comes through in her writing. I can almost see her character's quirky relatives at my own family reunions only with a more European appearance. Lex has some issues. The least of which is certainly not her grandmother, who wants her to be married. When grandma tells her to have a boyfriend by the time her cousin gets married, Lex must find a man to bring to the wedding who will pass grandma's scrutinous inspection. If Lex fails, grandma will stop sponsoring the junior high girls volleyball team that Lex coaches. This book made me laugh so hard! It also made me cry. The writing style is wonderful - I sat down and read over 100 pages in almost no time. I will definitely look for more books by Camy Tang!

Overall Rating:

I hesitated to start this series because I had read several reviews that claimed it was shallow and all about yummy food, body type, and bad dates. But what can I say--this book tempted me like a good dose of chocolate, I gave in, and I'm glad I did. I'm not really a tomboy, so I didn't think Lex would be someone I could identify with, but she's a well-developed, sweet, sassy girl worth rooting for, and Aiden is, in many ways, her perfect match. I also found myself empathizing with Lex during the physical therapy scenes, having been through a lot of those for most of my life due to a disability--although thank goodness none of my therapists were as tough as Aiden! :) The family dynamics are great, also, and despite the whole "yummy food" criticism, I actually enjoyed hearing about the ins and outs of Asian-American cookery and culture. My only criticism is that Lex's Ephesians List seems to be quite a stretch when compared to what Ephesians actually says, but on the other hand, it does keep Lex from being a goody-goody or phony about her faith. When I finished this one, I was more than ready to go back for seconds!

Poor Lex. A twenty-something Asian-American that is obsessed with volleyball, loves her culture and the Lord, and is completely fed up with her meddling family. Her grandmother, insists that Lex find a boyfriend before her cousins summer wedding, or else she will stop sponsoring the volleyball team that Lex is passionate about coaching. What Lex really wants to concentrate on is finding a new job, moving out of her dads house, and getting a spot on a prestigious volleyball team where she can finally showcase her skills. Her grandmothers ultimatum has put her in a tight spot. Lex doesnt want to fail her girls volleyball team, but she also doesnt want to fail herself either or God either by rushing into something she just isn't ready for.Suffering through several hilarious dates and mishaps all along the way, Lex is determined not to let the girls down. Romance is somewhat difficult for her, but if she shows fear, Lex knows shell run the potential man of her dreams off, exactly what she does not want to do. Through disasters, injuries, and backstabbing family members, Lex never forgets her connection to God. Is it weird that my favorite part of this book is the food descriptions? Ok, maybe not my favorite, but you have no idea how delicious and tantalizing the dishes sound! It seemed like every page I turned I was craving something else yummy. By the end, I didnt care what it was; I needed some Asian cuisine in my life! Camy Tang truly has a knack for description and not just with the food. Her descriptions of each of Lexs relatives and their hilarious antics was right on the ball, as was her subtle influx of Christian beliefs. The book is very much a Christian fiction novel, but in no way was it preachy or too much, which I loved. I know that all the readers of this book were really rooting for Lex, not only in finding a man that would love her for exactly who she was, but also for all the other positives that Lex really has in her life.

This book is delightfully silly in places without being shallow. It makes for some good lighter weight reading in between the emotional roller coasters and tense suspense novels that twist my stomach into knots. Lex and her cousins have to band together because they are all the "next" OSFC (oldest single female cousin) after the family's spring wedding. What does being the OSFC mean, well in Lex's family it means Grandma isn't going to leave you alone till you're practically married and she thinks he's the right one. When Grandma decides it's your turn in this family, life will be miserable if you let her dictate the rules and if you decide to run your life on your terms or anyone's besides hers for that matter it gets even more miserable. Lex as the first in line after Mariko's wedding gets the brunt of Grandma in this book as well as the rest of the family trying to help. Finally Lex and her three closest in age cousins (Jenn, Trish and Venus), who will be next in line after Lex for the matchmaking attempts of the entire family, realize it will take all of them working together to outsmart Grandma and still manage to stick to their convictions where dating is concerned. This in itself is a whole kettle of fish because the four girls are Christians and Grandma is still enmeshed in Japanese Buddhist beliefs so thinks the girls are just playing the "he's got to be a Christian" card to reject all her offerings of young men. In this book Lex experiences any number of lessons about faith, love, discernment and obedience along with her cousins. I think the biggest thing for Lex in this book is letting go and trusting God enough to leave the outcomes up to him instead of trying to make it work her way. This is a great read for those who are single whether you are "looking" for a relationship or content to stay single and for anyone single or not who either has family and friends that insist they need a significant other NOW! or knows someone single in that position.

I finished this book on the weekend and cant wait for Only Uni to be released.Lex is a Sports mad Asian girl who loves nothing more than playing Volleyball. Her Grandmother has different ideas of what Lex should be doing.With her cousin soon to be married, Lex is now the oldest single female cousin and is now being singled out by her grandmother.Everyone seems to be trying to set her up with suiters but could the right one be under her nose?I enjoyed the way Camy explained the Japanese/Chinese customs and the importance of family events. I really felt for Lex at times and I did relate very well to some of the incidents that happened to her, and thought it added to the book.I found the book really good and the more I read the more I just couldnt put the book down.

Sushi for one? (What a great title, by the way)What can I say about this book? I pretty much LOVED it. I love Camys style of using humor and serious situations together. I was totally rooting for Lex; shes one of the most memorable and realistic heroines Ive ever read about(and Ive read a lot)*Smile*. Im not that hot on volleyball but Camy has addressed it in such a way that I didnt feel lost. Lexs family reminds me of my big fat Greek wedding, which speaks for itself. Camy has all the quirkiness of a memorable author and all the brilliance of a seasoned one. The glossary in the back cracked me up! I cant wait to read the others in this fantastic series!

Wow, what a page turner! Enter into the Japanese culture in this Asian twist on Chick Lit. The author Camy Tang will have you in stitches in this hilarious romance. This reviewer just couldnt put this awesome book down and once you finish the novel youll be wanting more from Tang. Check out the glossary of Asian words (Camy style) at the back of the book and pick up some new words along the way.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was a lighthearted, funny, interesting read, and opened the door just a bit into the Asian culture. So many Christian books are either very heavy subject matter or are somewhat cheesy; I appreciated a book that was able to be humorous without being silly (for the most part). I definitely would recommend this book for a fun read.

In some ways, reading Camy Tangs debut novel "Sushi for One" is like a dining experience at a great Chinese restaurantan exotic buffet of quirky and engaging characters, a simmering plot of sweet and sour fun, and a hefty wasabi-dose of sass and humor. Oh, and yeah, a short time after you finish this enjoyable meal youre hungry for more!My first clue I was going to like this book was the covera beautiful, contemporary Asian woman stares you down, her head cocked and hand on her hip, almost daring you to look inside. When you do, you are reeled in by a cast of unforgettable characters and a fun and well-written story as sharp and sassy as the lady on the cover. Enter Lex Sakai, a 30-year-old sporty and no-frills kind a gal who butts heads with her grandma, a pit-bull matriarch who strikes fear in the hearts of Lex and her three female cousins over their marital status (or lack thereof). Grandma threatens to pull funding of the girls club volleyball team Lex coaches if Lex doesnt come up with a boyfriend fast. The lineup of comical suitors that Grandma sends her way gives Lex more heartburn than a trip to a really bad sushi bar, especially given a dark secret from her past thats soured her taste for romance. Nonetheless, armed with a boyfriend checklist based on Ephesians and faith in God, Lex is determined to make a match that will please her grandmother. Imagine her surprise when God has an unlikely match in mind to please her as well. Camy Tangs writing is witty, crisp and fresh with a spiritual message that makes this taste of Asian chick-lit truly satisfying. Do yourself a favor and go out for Chinese Sushi for One definitely hits the spot!

This is a really fun and easy book to read and I would definitely plan to read the following books that Camy is writing. I like how Lex ends up with a guy who is perfect for her but doesn't fit what SHE'S always thought would be perfect for her--this has recently happened to me. :) Lex's family is a bit freaky and seem unbelievable but apparently they are based on truth...thank goodness I don't live with them!! There are a lot of real-to-life scenarios played out in Lex's life and it is anything but easy for her but definitely a time for growth.

I was hesitant to read a new author and pick up this book, but boy oh boy was I ever glad that I did! It's hilariously funny, and it's always refreshing to see a character who is NORMAL, and with a normal, meddling, well meaning family. I throughly enjoyed this book, and I know that you will thoroughly enjoy it too. I really took the overall message to heart, (relax, and TRUST GOD). I couldn't even put it down, and this is one series (and author!) that I will gladly read again and again!
