How far will she go to bury the Hello Kitty stereotype forever? Fiona' s journey of self-discovery is biting and clever as she embraces her true nature and creates her own version of the American Dream, eliminating-without fear or remorse-anyone who stands in her way. Determined to thwart her parents' plans to marry her off into Asian suburbia, Fiona seeks her freedom at any price. But Fiona' s father throws her new life into disarray when he dupes her into an overnight trip that results in a hasty engagement to Don Koo, the spoiled son of a wealthy chef. Sean introduces her to a dark world of excitement, danger, cunning, and cruelty, pushing her to the limits of her own morality. In the process, she makes a surprising discovery that reunites her with a long-lost friend, Sean Killroy. To escape the burden of carrying her family' s honor, Fiona decides to take her own virginity. Secretly, she feels torn between the traditional Chinese values of her family and the social mores of being an American girl. Fiona, however, doesn't want marriage, hates children, nor any of the traditional things that her family wants for her. On the outside, twenty-eight-year-old Fiona Yu appears to be just another Hello Kitty-an educated, well-mannered Asian American woman. The 'Hello Kitty' referenced in the title is in regards to the soft, docile, clawless, cute, mouthless (voiceless), stereotype that many want Asian women to fall into.
