Those touches of humor work so well!

She was a great character, and I really felt for her struggles and wanted her to overcome them. I wish there were more contemporary, loosely-based retellings out there!

I like a non-caucasian heroine for a change and if the writing successfully blends so many different secondary plots, that much better!

I have to say I haven't read anything by this author but from they way she expresses her characters and the story-line it's certainly something for me to watch out for.
