About the book:
Trish Sakai is a girl with attitude---but she wants it to be directed more toward God and less
toward cute guys. Not easy when her artist ex-boyfriend claims she's
his muse and he can't paint without her; or when her new co-worker
definitely seems interested. Can she keep her impressive resolution?
My review:
(This is a very fun read!)
Tang
once again delivers an incredibly busy novel. Not a dull moment in this
book, I promise. Trish is a lovable character that I empathized with,
even though she often put her foot in her mouth. I truly felt for her
situation and I loved her sincerity, misguided though she was at times.
I also related to the way she felt pulled in by her ex-boyfriend. Some
women are just not strong that way, and Trish was a very believable
character in that regard.
Tang really comes up with some
interesting ways to describe things and on occasion the metaphors and
similes seemed a bit over the top, but that didn't take away from the
story much. Only Uni is hard to
put down because it's so interesting, and at times very insightful and
touching, while at other times quite amusing. I enjoyed Only Uni even more than Sushi for One?
Tang has a unique writing style that is engaging and fresh, even if a
bit overly done at times. I am REALLY looking forward to reading Single Sashimi.
Hey, the fact that I finished this book says a lot. So many never make it that far. So check it out!
Only Uni was published by Zondervan and released in March 2008.
