Critics Comments

"Cross-cultural relationships are more complex than they might first seem and offer different challenges and rewards. There's not only your loved one, but maybe also your families, and the cultural expectations you and they both have. Everyone's different, but we all need some guidance sometimes and Amy's warm and understanding approach should help anyone hoping for romance, or in a relationship they're just starting out on or even one they're deep into."

Eugene Goyne, Australian lawyer and student of Cantonese

"As she has demonstrated in her previous book, No Sweat Cantonese, Amy is a person of rare perception. In her second book, No Sweat Canto-Love, Amy shows us the right ways (and wrong ways!) of handling relationships with Asian women, especially in Hong Kong. This book is a must for all those guys who are in a relationship with an Asian girl and for those who would like to be! It also offers advice for Hong Kong women who are interested in western men. Amy successfully highlights the potential problems that western people may encounter in cross cultural relationships and how to avoid these. She writes in a style that is unique, resulting in a book that offers a rare insight into an important aspect of Asian culture. The book is easy to read, very informative and funny at the same time. Even if you are only interested in understanding Chinese culture, this book is for you."

Phil Osborne, Language teacher, DBS (Diocesan Boys’ School)

"Amy's book is delightful. It is warm, funny and above all human. She writes in a style that is all her own."

John Paynter, Senior Lecturer in Software Engineering,
Department of Information Systems and Operations Management, University of Auckland
