Sushi #4
Weddings and Wasabi
After finally graduating with a culinary degree, Jennifer Lim is pressured by her family to work at her control-freak aunty's restaurant. But after a family dispute, Jenn is determined to no longer be a doormat and instead starts her own catering company. Her search for a wine merchant brings John into her life--a tall, dark, handsome biker in form-fitting black leather, who's Hispanic to boot. It would be wonderfully wild to snag a man like that!
Shy engineer Edward tentatively tries out his birthday present from his winery-owner uncle--a Harley-Davidson complete with the trimmings. Jennifer seems attracted to the rough, aggressive image, but it isn't his real self. Is she latching onto him just to spite her horrified family? And if this spark between them is real, will showing her the true guy underneath put it out?
And what's with the goat in the backyard?

I've been a fan of Camy Tang ever since I heard about her and read the first book in her Sushi series, Sushi For One?. I liked that she wrote chick lit with an Asian flavor, and while I'm not Chinese/Japanese like her heroines are, I find that I could relate to the family and growing up woes that the four cousins experienced. And they're Christian, too, so the stories resonate with my faith.
Unfortunately, Camy's contract for the Sushi series only covers 3 books, so only Lex's, Trish's and Venus' stories came out in full-length novels. Fortunately, Camy announced a few years back that she would be releasing a novella about Jennifer, the fourth cousin. Imagine my delight when she sent her street team a free copy. :)
Jennifer Lim is the nicest among the cousins, so nice that she knows she can be a doormat sometimes. When she finally graduated from her culinary degree, she finds herself pressured with having to fulfill some family "duties" that her aunts had pressed upon her. After a particularly bad party with an encounter with her ex, Jenn finally stands up for herself and starts a catering company. This starts her adventure that brings Jenn into learning that it takes a lot of courage to follow your dreams and even more to leave those dreams and trust that God will make things happen.
It felt nice reuniting with Camy's characters again. I love the bond that Lex, Trish, Venus and Jenn had, and how they would always be there for one another no matter what. I also loved and hated their family. I don't know how Chinese/Japanese families really are, but their Aunty Aikiko really grated my nerves. How can a relative be so manipulating and conniving and just...annoying? Ugh. It almost felt a bit unreal with that aspect, but who knew, right? Maybe people like that do exist.
I like how things came into somewhat of a full circle in this novella. While this could be read as a standalone, like the first three, but I think reading all of them would provide a fuller experience with the story. I always find back stories interesting, so knowing what happened to who in previous books while reading this one helped a lot in appreciating the events in this more. I especially liked how one of their cousins seemed to be friendlier to them now, and how their grandmother played a surprising role too.
The only thing I probably did not like in Weddings and Wasabi was how short it was! I missed the build up in the old novels, especially in the romantic sense, so I was a little detached from the romance here unlike in the others. It did provide for a good, quick and light read, but I was definitely hungry for more. :)

Jenn just graduated from Culinary School. The family expects her to now run her Aunty’s Japanese restaurant. Everyone knows that this is why Jenn has gone to cooking school. Jenn doesn’t want to run the restaurant for her aunty though. She wants to open her own catering business. But in Jenn’s family what she wants and what is expected of her are two very different things.
When Jenn finally realizes that her family does not care what Jenn’s desires are she decides that she is going to take control of her life and branch out on her own. She decides to open her own catering business instead of going into Aunty’s business. This brings the wrath of her Aunty onto to her. With the support of her cousins Jenn plans her first catering job for her cousin Trish’s wedding.
While heading to a wine-tasting vineyard Jenn and her cousin Trish are passed by Edward on his Harley. They get a flat tire and Edward turns around to help them out. His family owns another vineyard nearby. He and Jenn are immediately attracted to each other. He too comes from a large family that can get very loud! After meeting Edwards’s family she realizes that she has neglected to pray for her business, she has neglected going to church and she has neglected reading her Bible. She soon remedies those things just as her dreams seem to start falling apart.
As always Camy Tangs books crack me up! Filled with a crazy family, a water gun attack, an Aunty bent on revenge, and a goat, Weddings and Wasabi is one wild ride! I do have one complaint though, Weddings and Wasabi was not as long as the other books in the series. I think that Jenn's story could have been more detailed. It was over too soon!

In the title alone, you know you are in for one kick of a story. I love the dry humor of a Tang story. It’s witty and funny, while not being *too* over the top. Throw in a little farm humor (i.e. the goat living in the yard and eating all the herbs) and I couldn’t help smiling more than once (and groaning in sympathy for the characters)
I’ve only read one other book in this series, and while this book is the self-published novella conclusion for Jenn, I think I would have gotten a little more out of it if I had read more of the family’s story. There were a few times I was a bit lost, but I think this is probably the conclusion, fans of this series have been looking for.
For a shorter story, there is great conflict in the story. From the goat in the backyard to the diabolical aunt, the poor girl certainly had her share of heartache and trouble. Not every end is neatly tied up, but I actually liked that, I have hope though as a reader that Jenn is going to be just fine. (smile)
A cute, enjoyable story with great spiritual undertones, it shows a bit of the chaos that must run in the Lim family. Sure to entertain many as it did me.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the author through FIRST for providing a copy for me to review.

Her whole life, Jennifer has done what her family expected of her. When she graduates from college, the family expects her to work at her aunt’s restaurant. Instead, Jennifer wants to start her own catering company. Her efforts to start a business bring her across the path of Edward, a handsome man whose family owns a winery. Will Jennifer chase her dreams even if it means disappointing her family?
The final book of the Sushi Series, Tang wraps up this series with a short novella. While the plot is not as developed as the other books, Jennifer’s story is a nice closure to the series. Fans of the series will ignore the rushed storyline to find out what happens to the four cousins.
I applaud Tang for self-publishing this story so that loyal readers could find out what happened with Jennifer. The story is a nice, light end-of-summer read.

This is the concluding story about the Sakai cousins, about the 4th cousin, Jenn. She is one of four Asian American Christians in a family of Buddhists. They are about faith and persistence despite various difficulties in their lives and the interference of an overwhelming grandma determined to see them married. This novella is just as well written and entertaining as the first three full novels, but I really wanted a fuller story about Jenn since I relate to her character the most.
July 10, 2011
I loved it but wished it was longer. I easily read it in a few hours and wanted more. I'm glad to finally get an ending for Jenn but I wanted more development between the couple. All in all great ending to a lovely series!

... for Camy Tang's Sushi Series. Yes, it's short, but it does what the author intended - it wraps up the series and gives Jenn her own story, with an interesting surprise. Thanks Camy, for giving your fans one more "loud Asian chick-lit" story.

The book was okay. I was hoping for a longer story though, like in the other three sushi books. I love the other three and have reread them but this was so short.

Jennifer Lim has finished her culinary degree, and her dream is to open her own restaurant. But her large Chinese family especially her Aunt Aikiko expects her to chef in her aunt's Chinese restaurant. Jenn has been a pushover all her life, but for once she stands up for herself. But will things that happen in her life push her into Auntie's restaurant or will a handsome young man have a better plan?
Quick, easy, enjoyable contemporary romance read with a good faith thread that is a wonderful conclusion to Camy Tang's Sushi series.

Normally, I hate novellas, because they're too short, leave you on a cliffhanger, or both, but every once in a while one comes along to blow my whole perception of them askew. This is just such a novella.
Weddings and Wasabi ends Camy Tang's Sushi Series and I have to say it was a very quick and wonderful read! Quiet, mousey Jenn that we have seen in the other three books in the series finally blooms into her own and it is a funny ride as she does! I was reading this at work and having to fight a losing battle to keep from falling off my stool from roaring in laughter! The back of the book doesn't quite match the actual character of Edward that we see in the book, but he is such an enjoyable character that I didn't mind it much. There is a "hot button" issue from Jenn's past that comes up, but it really didn't seem to be much of a problem for the couple, nor was it really discussed at length, which was a bit of a disappointment to me.
The one nitpick I have about this book is that the other three books in the series were full length novels, whereas this one was a novella. I kept feeling that Jenn's full story was something we were getting cheated out of, even though it was the fans that demanded that Jenn's story be written. As such, there were several things that got glossed over and I would have liked to see them fleshed out more. Perhaps the publisher change is to blame for this, but I think that it would have been nice to see the full story. However, this nitpick didn't really detract from the story, which made me roar in laughter and had tears pricking my eyes at other points as well. A book with that strong of an emotional response in me is well worth 5 stars!

Jennifer Lim has always been a good Japanese daughter. But when an abusive ex-boyfriend shows up and her family expects her to just take it, Jenn finds the courage to stand up for herself. Armed with a culinary degree, her newfound freedom, her supportive cousins, and her handsome new friend, Edward, Jenn is determined to follow God's will for her life. Jenn's family members all seem to have their own plans for her life, but as confrontations happen, Jenn finds the strength to press forward to her dreams, her life, and maybe even love.
Weddings and Wasabi is the fourth installment in Camy Tang's Sushi series. The novella works well as a stand-alone and is a short, sweet read. I thought a few of the situations were unlikely, if not unbelieveable, but Jenn's character comes across as genuine. Jenn's search to find God's will was something that I could really relate to. I think more could have been done with some of the characters/situations. For instance, at one point Jenn begins to questions whether or not her ex-boyfriend pushed her or she fell while drunk. Unfortunately, that was never resolved and there are several other ambiguities throughout the story that leave the reader a little unfulfilled.
Overall, I recommend Weddings and Wasabi if you are looking for a light, sweet read to pass the time.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a book with a title of Weddings & Wasabi but I was pleasantly surprised with a fun, up-beat and humorous tale of love. It wasn’t until I went to write the review on this book that I noticed it was titled book 4 in a series. I’m not sure how I didn’t know that before but I feel this book did pretty good standing on its own. There were a few moments I was confused but 95% of the time I understood what was going on and was enthralled in the story!
The main character is Jenn and she has just graduated from culinary school and her family is expecting her to take over her Aunt’s Japanese restaurant. Jenn is a good girl and has always done what everyone expects of her and never questions it. However, Jenn’s heart is in opening her own restaurant. Jenn meets Edward, a handsome young man who owns his own winery. With Edwards help Jenn begins to realize that her dreams are not out of reach and family is more supportive than she can understand.
Weddings and Wasabi is a short novella but it is jammed packed full with a delightful story and compelling characters. I enjoyed zipping through this story and loved the humor that it brought to my day, especially with the annoying goat and the entertaining dialogue. This book is sure to entertain many especially those that have been following the series.

Weddings and Wasabi by Camy Tang is the fourth and final book in the Sushi series about a series of Chinese-American cousins finding love. Jenn has always been the good cousin, the good girl in her family, willing to accept responsibility and take on any chore without a word of complaint. She just finished culinary school secretly hoping to start a restaurant of her own, but the whole family expects her to begin working at her aunt's restaurant. When she encounters an abusive ex-boyfriend at a party, and the family sides against her, Jenn has had enough of being their doormat, and then the fun begins. The Sushi series has been one of my all time favorite romance series, because Tang infuses her books with a deep sense of fun, along with romance, faith, and strong friendship. Each cousin is one that readers would love to know in real life. This book feels as though Tang decided to give readers the book they would love and allowed her joy of writing to cut loose. With hungry goats, a water-gun attack, and love at first sight, this is a perfect ending to a terrific series. My only complaint is that it had to end! I am a life-long fan of Tang's, and anyone who reads the Sushi series will be just as hooked.

Weddings and Wasabi By Camy Tang
Sushi Series Book 4
Jennifer Lim, the quiet cousin. The cousin who does what she can to keep peace. Until now. Jenn has snapped and no one is going to walk over her again. She's learning to say no to the overwhelming aunty's. And she would like to say yes to the dangerous Harley riding Edward Castillo.
This is the final book in the series. A little shorter than the previous books. It ties a few things together that have been mentioned previously. Once again Camy Tang has some pretty serious issues in the book but also lines it with humor, like a goat in the backyard. As with a good series it's always a bit sad to finish the final book and say good-bye to the characters that have come to life.
Four cousins out of a large family have become Christians. The books are about their struggles within the family and in their own personal walk with God. The series starts with Sushi for One? and then book 1.1 The Sushi Toss, which is a short, free read on Camy Tang's blog. Book two is Trish's tale in Only Uni and book three is Venus' story in Single Sashimi. A unique series worth reading.

Love! Beginning to end a delightful read that kept a constant smile on my face in between the fury. Love the references to things I love. The quirky humor is right up my alley. It puts me in the mind of other of my favorite authors like Rachel Hauck and/or Janice Thompson especially in remembering the Weddings by Bella Series. The family dynamic is awesome and makes me miss the holiday seasons with my own. Without a doubt, I'll continue to look for more from Camy.

The final book in a unique series about family struggles and their walk with God. I just love the Grandma in the series. She knows how to get things done. This story was about Jennifer the quiet cousin and how she can never say no. She graduates from culinary school and she wants to open her own place but her aunty has a different idea and had always expected Jennifer to come work for her. She will do anything to get Jennifer to work for her. Jennifer meets a Harley riding dude Edward Castillo that runs one of the nearby wineries. Jennifer has a very hard time telling him no. The new Jennifer will amaze you. The story will make you laugh and cry. I hated to see the series end.

I enjoyed this book, since it had been a while since I had read the others, I had a little bit of a hard time remembering everyone. But I love the bond of the cousins.
This is Jenn's story. I was disappointed that it was a short story - only 110 large pages.
Jenn wants to quit her job and open a catering business. But she was afraid due to her mom's past cancer and no health insurance, due to her family using her as a doormat. Can she over come all these and hear what God wants her to do with her life?
Humor comes in the form of Pookie.

What an enjoyable very fast read...only 104 pages. Be ready for some great laughs!
Jenn has grown up to respect her elders and after graduating from Culinary School, her Aunty expects her to run her restaurant.
Her Mom can't say "No" to anyone, and then Jenn ends up with a goat in her back yard. I love it!!! There are some serious issues, and a touch of romance. Enjoy traveling on a Motorcycle, squirt gun raids, and more!

"I'm glad, Jenn. I've been praying for you, too."
A man who prayed. She really couldn't think of anything more attractive.
I so enjoyed watching the quirky but strong bond between Lex, Trish, Venus, and Jenn through the series, and it was wonderful to see Jenn finally assert herself. The whole cake-pan-war-adventure-thingy here wasn't bad either!
In all, I'd recommend the Sushi Series to any ChristFic chick lit fan. (Just be forewarned that the compelling emphasis on delicious food throughout the books may make you feel rather, um, snacky while reading.)

The fourth and final installment of the Sushi Series , this was a fun and fast read. Maybe it's the nature of such a short story, but it felt very rushed-- and there's a major editing mistake that no one seemed to catch (John = Edward) on the back cover of the book, but other than that, it tied up some of the loose ends. (Yay for Grandma Sakai!)
I wonder what the chances are now of a book/novella about Mimi's story? (=

I'm a big fan of the whole "Sushi Series" this author has done and this final story wrapped up the end of the series in a humorous yet moving way.
I was so wrapped up in the book that I was disappointed the story ended so quickly. I just adored the humor, the fast pace, and of course the Christian message.

Camy Tang has delivered another good read. I really enjoy her writing. This particular book was a quick and easy read...I was sad to finish it. It could have been longer, I think she could have developed the relationship between Jenn and Edward a little more, but really like the end with the grandmother.

This was a nice wrap up to the series, however it's a short story and because of that there was really no romantic development. It just happened with little time together or anything. Outstanding writing as usual though. I'm glad I still have the first one to go back and read. I'll miss the cousins!!

Camy's writing flows very nicely, and I just can't seem to put it down.
Too bad this is a novella, not a full-fledged novel like the others. I wanted to hear more about Jenn's cooking ventures!!
The Twilight reference is a bit off and dated, though. It felt like something that would need explanatory context if read way past the Twilight craze.

Oh Camy, say this isn't the end! I love this series. Now I want a book about Mimi. I love your humor, the different issues the girls face, the multicultural-ness (is that a word?), and the fact that your characters all actually have different personalities. I don't want this series to end!

Excellent story-- a good culmination of the others and a fun ending. My only problem was continuity: wasn't her phone battery dead? Why could she read a text a few minutes later? Other than that, good stuff from one of the best chick lit authors I have ever read.

Lovely addition to the Sushi Series, but not nearly as engaging as the first three.

Finally the last one in this series. This book was shorter than the others and was fun to read about the last character Camy Tang has in her other books. Loved it.

Jenny's story came at a fitting time for me, as I saw how she allowed God to work in her life situation. She might be my favorite if the Sakai cousins, as she develops backbone!

The story was good, just a little too "preachy."
