It maybe me or the fact that I don't read Novellas very often. This book confirmed why i prefer novels. The story line was one that intrigued me. Because matchmaking is something that i have not really encountered and not in the historical sense. This book left me wanting a lot more. I wanted to know more about Mae, her life when she was young and her relationship with Chen. I wanted to know more about the secrets she found with Mrs. Tan. The book felt very rushed. I know that all this maybe explained in the next books to come but i didn't really form an attachment to Mae or her longing for Chen. I hope that the next books to come will give a better foundation or insight on Mae and what she had learned from her apprenticeship. As much as the matchmaking and the couples story is important i want to know the tradition as well.
