This book takes us from Toronto, to the Philippines, to San Francisco, Vancouver and then spends most of its time in Las Vegas. For some odd reason the author is obsessed with mentioning the Chanel purse, Cartier watch and Adidas track pants that the character wears; as well as the Starbucks VIA instant coffee she drinks and the bra and panties she must always be wearing or changing. I don't know why it's necessary to keep mentioning them, but there it is. The rest of the story is really very good. I like that Ava Lee is smart, organized, able to look after herself, an accountant, Chinese and a lesbian. It makes her a very interesting character and offers up many chances for the tale to be nontraditional, both points very much a benefit in its telling.
