Historia3 out of 5 stars 13
Six days after an InStyle-worthy wedding in Los Angeles, Lisa Fineberg Cook left behind her little red Jetta, her manicurist of 10 years, and her very best friend for the land of the rising sun. When her husband accepted a job teaching English in Nagoya, Japan, she imagined exotic weekend getaways, fine sushi dinners, and sake sojourns with glamorous expatriate friends. Instead, she's the only Jewish girl on public transportation, and everyone is staring.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A story that celebrated the opportunity to live in another culture
What was most disappointing about Lisa Cook’s story?
Her assumption that it is acceptable to disrespect people in other countries ("they all look alike"); that the goal of every culture should be to mirror America; and the assumption that people in other countries spend all their time staring at her. Please!
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Whiny - but that was probably the character rather than the performer
What character would you cut from Japan Took the Jap Out of Me?
The main character should be ashamed of herself
Any additional comments?
The very first Audible in 5+ years that I have absolutely hated

I have enjoyed every book in this series, and this one is another hit. However - and this is a big however - it was excruciating to hear the narrator mispronounce the Hawaiian words. I would have enjoyed the book more if I had read it.
