Add a QuoteDaiyu looked over the assortment of jewelry at the old woman's booth and didn't see anything she liked. She'd spent nearly an hour wandering outdoors around the Arch grounds, investigating the stalls being set up for Fair Saint Louis, and she'd been so surprised to see a jewelry vendor among the food booths that she'd stopped to look over the merchandise. But now she wished she hadn't. The necklaces were cheap, the summer heat was overwhelming, and in a minute she was going to be late getting back from lunch.

Gateway is an attention capturing book. I couldn't put it down until I finished the very last page. If you like surprises, adventures, and romances, then this book is for you.
I thought this book was average because 3/4 of the book's plots were already told in the beginning, and a lot of things were expected. I also didn't like the characters, I felt like the author had to include White and Black people so more people would read it, but I found it a little offensive how she didn't know the language or how she was so ignorant about her Asian heritage. And I didn't get why they called the Black people "heiren" and White people "cangbai" instead of "bairen" (which would match more with "heiren"). But I did like the ending, a lot.

I loved this book! It is so sweet and something different for a change.
This was a good book, I like this author better in YA, but there were a few times where I wanted to smack different characters and the author. The premise is definitely interesting though.
This was an interesting book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
