"I began to see beauty as something that could be unleashed from within a person rather than a set of physical features like a perfect nose or big eyes."
"Mambo in Chinatown" by Jean Kwok is a lighthearted and warm feel-good where we get to follow Charlie, a 22 year old girl with big dreams. Through the book Charlie really evolves and blooms as a person, it's captivating to follow her changes.
Charlie is without a doubt my favorite characters but I also really liked Lisa, Nina, Ryan, Zan, Mo Li and of course everyone at the dance studio.
I picked this book up on a book sale so I didn't know what to expect, but I gotta say that this was a really fun and interesting read. I'm Swedish so I know near to nothing about the Chinese traditions and culture so reading this book thought me quite a lot about their culture, which I really enjoyed.
Kwok's way of writing makes every chapter captivating and as a reader I want to find out if certain things happens so much that it's tempting to go to the last chapters. This is the first book I've read by the author but I will definitely read more of her work in the future.
⭐️ "Mambo in Chinatown" by Jean Kwok gets a strong 3/5 stars from me!
