WHAT ARE YOU READING?
Candy Cane Cookie Crush: a Tokyo Meet-Cute Romance by Suzanne Kamata Candy Cane Cookie Crush is a delightful holiday rom-com by Suzanne Kamata. Kamata gets all the details of what it's like for many women teaching in Japanese colleges exactly right! Divorced single mother Lauren was hired to teach English and Home Economics at the ultra conservative family-run Tokyo Cherry Blossom Women’s College (because the men who hired her for the position thought her Ph.D. in women’s studies was pretty much the same as one in home economics). Keeping her eyes on the tenure prize, she keeps her head down, while at the same time subversively instilling feminist goals into her students. Everything is going smoothly until she meets the handsome widowed father of her daughter's classmate. “I highly recommend setting aside an afternoon or two, brew a pot of tea, and have some cookies while delving into this sweet multicultural romance.” -- Five-star Amazon review
