Loveboat, Taipei por Abigail Hing Wen

Entertaining, but pretty superficial when it came to character development. A young American Asian woman travels to Taipei to attend a camp after high school. She breaks out of her rigid, sheltered childhood and challenges herself to disregard the rules she was raised with. People fall in and out of love in a heartbeat and the relationship felt as ephemeral as the plot. It won't stick with me, but it was a fun quick read.

I hate all the major characters in this book except for Xavier. I didn't know what was triggering me so much from the start to the middle of the book, but it all became clear when Ever made the most annoying thing I hate. This book is all about cheating. Yeah that's how I would summarize it. A sex getaway for the young Asian who are deprived of freedom by their immigrants parents.

Ever felt very guilty for kissing Xavier after his break-up with Sophie, her "friend" who lied and very vicious and practically stole what originally was given for her by the guy who loves her, Xavier. Yet, she was okay seducing Rick, man in a relationship because what? His girlfriend had depression and she never seen her? And worse after the horrible nude "pØrn" scandal, which Sophie started, she turn into a goody-two-shoes hypocrite who worries about Sophie's feelings and wellbeing because of course stole Sophie's "boyfriend" still while dreaming that Rick, the guy who went to see his depress girlfriend, would break-up with his girlfriend. Then after giving Xavier hopes she cheat on him. Wow, she sure love to cheat.

I don't think I have to say it, but I will. I regret reading this book to the end. Why didn't I DNF'd this? Stupid me. But my problem was that I was too curious where it will go and the story just keep pissing me off until the end.

Triggers for this book:

Cheating. Emotional abuse. Domestic abuse. Slut shamming. I feel like there's no real friendship in this book. I'm pissed. I'm pissed! ARGHHH!!!… (más)

Better than I expected, still nothing that blew me away. A few tropes I'm not a general fan of.

When I was little Love Boat was my favorite show so there was no way I was passing up a book with this title.
