    Funny, light read
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2013*

Would you travel 6,000 miles, halfway around the world to be in the same city as your boyfriend?  That's exactly what Hannah does in Michele Gorman's second novel, Misfortune Cookie - the sequel to Single in the City.The idea sounded great.  It was supposed to be exciting and romantic.  However, things aren't going quite as planned.  Instead of exploring Hong Kong with her boyfriend, Sam, Hannah is stuck in the foreign city alone while Sam is away on business more times than not.Things start looking brighter when her best friend, Stacy, decides to move and join her.  Together, Hannah and Stacy explore Hong Kong and immerse themselves in the culture with funny mishaps along the way that Gorman illustrates with clever wit and humor.  Ultimately, Hannah learns a lot about herself and has to decide what she wants out of life and love.While reading Single in the City isn't necessary to enjoy Misfortune Cookie, readers who have will most definitely have more insight into Hannah and circumstances surrounding her latest adventure.

    Michele's writing is laugh out loud funny, with a lovably flawed main character
  

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2014*

Michele's writing is laugh out loud funny, with a lovably flawed main character.This book:1) kept me up into the wee hours of the morning so I could finish.2) had me craving Chinese food, guess what I ordered for lunch today.3) transferring $2.99 from savings to checking so I can get the last book in the series and finish it tonight!4) Sharing it on Facebook to tell friends who want a light, funny read, this is the cookie!5) Highlighting the parts I found funny on my kindle, bringing it work, and reading the laugh out loud parts to my co-workers!

    3.5 Stars - a fun sequel but I preferred the original
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2012*

3.5 starsIn this sequel to Single in the City, Hannah has moved to Hong Kong for her new boyfriend Sam.  It is questionable to Hannah's friends and family whether Sam asked her to move WITH him or simply suggested she might want to move there as well, but Hannah is head over heels in love with Sam and is convinced they are a match made in Heaven.  So, Hannah packs up and moves to Hong Kong almost as spontaneously as she moved from the states to London the year before.  But this time, her bestie Stacey will be her roommate and, thanks to some good luck, she's landed herself a job as a buyer's assistant with a terrific boss.  Hannah's life in Hong Kong would be perfect if it is wasn't for the small inconvenience of Sam's job - it has him traveling and not actually living in Hong Kong after all. They only manage to see each other every few weeks, sometimes months, for a couple of days. And even when they are together, while the sparks still fly between the sheets, Sam seems to be slightly more interested in his career and perhaps his female boss than he is in developing his relationship with Hannah.I really did enjoy this book, however, I liked Single in the City better and since I gave that 4 stars, I feel as if I should give Misfortune Cookie 3.5.  The sequel just didn't hold my attention the way the original did - there was too much description of Hong Kong which some readers love, but I prefer the action which was a bit slow at times.  Hannah is a great main character and I loved all of the secondary characters, including Sam. Even when I was angry at him, I still gave him the benefit of the doubt and hoped he would do the right thing by Hannah.  I also really enjoyed the character development of Hannah as she finally learned to stand up for herself and what she wanted/needed/deserved.  It was refreshing watching her come into her own.  Since the ending was not completely satisfying, I do hope a third installment is in the making!PS - I love the covers of both of these books.  So pretty!
