Throughout January, bloggers participated in the #BacklistRevivalProject to shine a spotlight on a book published in 2014 or later — here, my One Night In The Palace Hotel:

What I liked most about this book is that it depicts a common issue among offsprings. Some of us feels trapped with the obligation to fulfill our parents\’ dreams, some of us are even forced to attain it. Sometimes, it feels like we don\’t have a choice, it\’s a call of duty, a sign of respect…we want them to be proud to us, we want them to approve. Even if it\’s not what we aspire, what we dream of, or what we are passionate about, we do what will make our parents proud. Even if by doing that we kill that burning light of our own dreams. The question is, is it okay to do it?
The experience of writing explicitly about sex for the first time was exciting and thrilling…and then, holding the finished draft in my hand, reading through what I’d written, I had this crazy rush, like: “I cannot believe I just wrote that! What will my co-workers think of me!!”
> Jee Ann of The Booktales reviewed the book, recommending it for \”Lovers of contemporary romance who love their reads a little steamy, with a sprinkling of sweet moments. Also if you like fashion and food, you’ll love Mori’s descrptions!\” She also asked me to put up a guest post on my inspiration for Consuelo, Sam and The Palace Hotel – read it here if you\’re curious.
> Finally, Carla of Some Midnights and I play dueling casting directors with our picks for the ONATPH characters. This one had me laughing out loud at her Benjo — and made me seriously reconsider my character\’s background!
