Coco, the protagonist, is caught between two men: an unemployed, impotent Chinese man named Tian Tian and a horny, married German named Mark. The book reads a bit like a diary. It goes on and on about the sex she's had with Mark, what she did with her cool, modern friends and pointless details such as what people were wearing, what she bought at the grocery store, etc. The world she lives in is apparently Shanghai's underbelly, where drugs and wild parties flourish. In the end she must decide between Mark and Tian Tian. Each chapter starts with a few quotes. Some of them are interesting, but they didn't necessarily enrich the book.
Coco takes a bit getting used to. She describes herself as her daddy's little princess. She says her parents spoil her. She sometimes brags too much about how attractive, clever and talented she is. Her actions are often difficult to understand, especially because she has a tendency to do things such as quit her job and have sex in a public bathroom at the drop of a hat.
Hui's writing style is distinctive. She does have a talent for creating a mood and describing situations. The plot itself is actually pretty simple, a woman caught between two lovers. I don't think this book is terrible, I just don't think it's bestseller material. I also doubt that it truly portrays the "real" China. 80% of China's population still works agriculture, and most young people aren't as spoiled and rich as Coco/Hui.
Overall I'd classify this book as light summer read.
