Hello Kitty Must Die

Angela S Choi

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.

Há muito tempo que não me desiludia com o livro, mas, claro, all good things must come to an end. Apaixonei-me por este livro na Fnac, porque 1) a capa era bonita 2) o título era apelativo e 3) a primeira frase chamava imenso à atenção. Os primeiros capítulos são engraçaditos, marcam o ritmo da história (que rapidamente se perde). A única razão pela qual realmente vale a pena ler este livro é mesmo o humor sharp e sarcástico da escritora, mas que mesmo assim não se mostra tanto quanto eu espera.
