Synopsis

If you were an orphaned child raised in the seclusion of a remote area with your grandpa, your life would be tranquil, like a mirrored-surface lake. Imagine never contemplating any idea of stepping out of your comfort zone. Suddenly discovering that your parents, whom you believed to have passed away when you were born, were actually alive and residing in a bustling city. Would you muster the courage to reunite with them armed with only a picture?
If you thought it was a simple journey of a young mountainous girl in a bustling city with not many expectations, little did you know you would fall into the trap skillfully created with twists and turns at any moment. Every detail weaves together from the first event and unfolds later, creating an unspeakably convincing narrative. Even a word uttered by a character seems to contribute to the plot involuntarily. It feels like taking a leisurely drive through a village path, and before you know it, you're suddenly on a high-speed roller coaster.
The crime scenes, astonishing investigation results, and the way the author unfolded the plot were excellent. It would be unjust not to mention the hilarious dialogues and the romance between the main couple, which perfectly eased the tense atmosphere throughout the story. Experience yourself with "Lost and found in Saigon: When the universe asks you to move"

This is the first YA book I've read that has a strong familial focus, and I absolutely loved it with all my heart. The bond between Dinh and her grandpa is amazing, and I could relate so much to different aspects of Dinh. I saw myself in them, and that's always an amazing feeling. ALSO, THEY ARE Vietnamese; I am Vietnamese.

I empathized with the loss of Dinh. On top of that, I find the training quite interesting. Ah, is the screen set in the Northwest of Vietnam? Some of my friends have traveled there, and they told me about the ethnic groups and the grandeur of nature. So cool. I really have to think about visiting this place sometime

After posting several chapters, things started getting interesting around Chapter 5. A feeling dawned on me—I couldn't stop. I waited a week to read this book because I couldn't imagine enjoying a story about a young girl and her adventures in the city. I thought it might be too ordinary and juvenile for my taste. I was wrong. I can honestly say that I loved every minute of this. It's a spectacular little gambol with funny, courageous, and endearing characters that you can't help but love.

The vibe I'm getting from this book is that the author starts playing mind games with us right from the get-go. Picture this: Grandpa drops the bomb on his niece, telling her she's off to find her Ilove that vibe, it likes I transported to the unique style of Saigon, with the street selling vendor, and friendly local people, mixed with the heating of tropical climate. Through her words I can easily immerged myself in that

I've just finished a half of this, very 1st chapter seemed a little low pace but believe me it's worth to read. As the thrilling soars from chapter 4. On top of that, the humor element in the book introduces a fresh perspective, diverging from the existing mainstream comedy in the USA and aligning more with the engaging humor found in Japanese manga, reminiscent of some aspects of ONE PIECE. I can't help but wonder if the author is from Asia, as there seems to be a shared mindset. Regardless, the story had me hanging on its every twist. Cool.

. Has anyone found a book full of an unpredictable and intensely emotional plot? To me, exactly what I found in this book. T. It's a thrilling, action-packed, high-stakes investigation, and hilariously romantic journey filled with twists and turns at every corner. Initially, I approached this book thinking it was a simple journey of a young mountainous girl in a bustling city with not many expectations. Then, in the blink of an eye, I fell into the trap of twists and turns in every captivating detail. It feels like taking a leisurely drive through a village path, and before you know it, you're suddenly on a high-speed roller coaster. Love that feeling throughout the whole book. Highly recommend.

Okay, this book is like a rollercoaster of investigation and murder madness. While not a high-stakes thriller, the investigation delivered on unexpected and perfectly executed twists. The author's storytelling skills are off the charts, weaving the plot in a way that kept me guessing. And the humor, man, it's a whole new level, not your typical US comedy but more like that awesome Japanese manga humor, a bit of ONE PIECE flavor. I'm starting to think the author might have some Asian roots; the mindset just clicks. Every twist had me going . I've just downloaded it from Amazon 2 days ago on blackfriday occasion, you should not miss that

I see this story has the vibe of what's called sino-culture. The pace flowed a little bit slow in the chapters where Dinh lived with her grandpa, but it sped up later. So, so good. I willingly jumped into the hole the author set.

This started slowly at first for me, but when I realized what was really going on, I was invested. Out of control invested. This is my favorite book so far! This is brilliant, emotional, and overwhelmingly beautiful. It stands out in its kind. It's not a masterpiece, but if you need something that captures the breath of ordinary people's lives, this book is exactly what I want, LOVE JU VU.

What I can say about this book is its very well crafted characters, enven to the very supporting character, say, a begger, could lead the story to, heart-pounding twists and turns . This book doesn't just tell a story; it immerses you in a whirlwind of intense emotions. From the highs of joy to the depths of sorrow, every page resonates with a satisfying intensity. It's not just a read; it's an emotional journey that has firmly secured its place as my all-time favorite.

Well, I can't imagine if Dinh weren't a master at martial arts; she would have died under the shopman's knife. I mean, it felt off—the robber luring you into a dilapidated house. He must have targeted you for murder. But now, you guys have to figure out what his motive is. :) I've finished that book; I won't spoil it here

well it seemed an adventure, quiet funny and suprising. I used have an . intention was to read the first paragraph, and if I didn’t feel like it, I would pick another book. I couldn’t stop. I read the first sentence, the first paragraph, the first chapter, and that's it, I was not going to stop; it just wasn’t an option anymore. Then I ended up with download the book on Amazon. There are few books that will rope you in so completely that you can't help but keep reading; this is definitely one of them. I loved everything about this book, the characters, the story, the relationships. This is the fastest I've fallen in love with characters in a long time.

he vibe I'm getting from this book is that the author starts playing mind games with us right from the get-go. Picture this: Grandpa drops the bomb on his niece, telling her she's off to find her parents just before he kicks the bucket. Now, imagine if the girl decided to play it safe, stick to her roots, and avoid the whole risky adventure deal. But nope, she dives headfirst into the unknown, and that move sends out a signal to the universe, redirecting her fate. What's intriguing here is the metaphor for that pivotal life decision every young gun faces when stepping into independence. Taking a leap outside the comfort zone, risking life and limb, and voila! In Dinh's case, it's a jackpot of personal growth, new pals, and relationships in the hustle and bustle of contemporary society, not some isolated spot where she might've ended up with a bleak future. That's the broad strokes; let's dive into the nitty-gritty, where the author snares you with countless plot twists. Initially, you approach this book thinking it's a simple journey of a mountain girl navigating a bustling city with low expectations. But surprise, surprise! The author expertly traps us with twists and turns in every detail, weaving an unbelievably convincing narrative. Every character's word seems to involuntarily contribute to the plot, from the street food vendor to the monk—even a dog plays a role in unfolding the story. JU VU's plot game is on point. This thrilling adventure from start to finish is a mind-blowing joyride, blending all the elements seamlessly. Murder plots, jaw-dropping investigation results, hilarious dialogues, and a romance between the main couple that perfectly balances the diverse emotions throughout the story. But the one common thread? You're 'so so hooked.' I started it thinking it'd be a time killer, but some invisible force kept me from putting it down. That's the lowdown I got from the book—now, let's chat.

So it's free download ndow, ok let me check then I tell you guy what's going on in the Fancy store, the shopman motive sounded crazy --Quote for enough words :)) A typical feminist story of its kind. All the books revolve around our main female character in the journey of her life. The hilarious dialogues and absurdity of the plot promise to crack you up. This is a journey to find the purpose of life under the guidance of the universe. All elements are woven under an adventure, and unexpected murder plots, combined with packed action, promise to keep you hooked like never before.

I couldn't stop myself from searching for answers to each plot, I think that is the most interesting aspect of this book. On top of that, the crime investigations here aren't too intricate; I could figure them out. Still, the murder plots and actions are truly intriguing. I found myself jumping from the sofa, especially in scenes like Dinh guiding Duy through a chaotic maze under the rain of bullets. Things sounded crazy but convincing in this context. That's what I really appreciate about JU VU. The feeling of not knowing what happens next stays with me throughout the book.

A buddy hooked me up with this book a while ago. I was on the lookout for something breezy to read this weekend, so I thought, why not? It's definitely an easy, light read. I'd say the writing is like kinda-pro, if you catch my drift. The whole thing's just a simple narrative, mostly told through dialogue. The story structure itself is pretty straightforward, no real arcs to rave about. It's not cringy fan-fiction level, though. For what it is, it's decently written—easy to follow and easy to vibe with. So, it's not a brain-buster, and it might not score high if it were a writing assignment in a regular creative writing class. But it was kinda cool, a nice little distraction.
