This is probably a 3.5 star book, but I'm feeling generous this morning and am rounding up. I liked the core story of the young Chinese- and Japanese-American couple during World War II, and I think the author did an adequate job of going back and forth in time to reveal what became of their love story. However, I think the author got a little confused (or I am even more technologically backwards than I had assumed). The "current" story takes place in the early-mid 1980s yet the characters are playing CDs, using the internet for grief counseling support groups, and to find people who haven't been heard from in 40+ years in a matter of hours. Maybe it should have been a decade or so later? Otherwise, it was an enjoyable, simple summer read.
