I was fortunate enough to get a copy of this from a Goodreads giveaway. I didn’t even realize at the time that it was a sequal to Shanghai Girls! Though I read them out of sequenc, I have to agree with Megahn that DoJ does fill in the gaps. But in my own eyes, Lisa See can do no wrong and I look forward to going back to SG.

I still have to read Shanghai Girls, but I’m happy to hear you enjoyed this one too! I read the author’s previous novels and absolutely loved them.

I have this and am really looking forward to it. I am so glad to hear that it holds up to what I expect from Lisa See.

I skimmed this review because I am going to be reading both of these books back to back very shortly. It sounds like I am in for a treat, and since I already love Lisa See, I am really excited about them! Glad to see that this was such a good read for you!

I have this book in my TBR pile, but have been avoiding it because of fear of disappointment! Sounds like I don’t need to be afraid!

I just read my first Lisa See book and just loved it. I need to read Shanghai Girls so I can dig into this one.

I really need to read this. I received it when it came out, started it, and then got distracted and never finished it.

I still have yet to read See but she’s on my list. I like that this is able to be read without the first as I respect an author who tells a filled in story no matter where you pick it up.
