Does anyone know if 50% of Shanghai Girls takes place in Asia? I know it's about their lives spanning from Shanghai to the US, but flipping through it I can't tell at what point they actually get to the US (and stay there)?

I believe that most of it takes place in the US but it was a while ago and I may be wrong. Not sure if anyone has read it more recently and has more info.

It's 309 pages long and the sisters arrive in the US on page 124, so that would make it about 40% in China and 60% of the book in America

Just want to double-check that this one would work for Europe:
I'm reading it now and I'm about a third of the way through. The setting is Amsterdam.

The book I want to read has two different paperback versions. One meets the requirements of orange but I have the e-book version which may not. Can I still read this book with the following cover since it is paperback version which matches the Kindle version I have?

So if you don't read the paperback version with that cover or if you cannot find a Kindle version with orange on it then it will not count.
