Story:
The story is about Joey and her husband Mr. F (and Joey's friends and families), formatted in non linear narrative. Most parts are short. Reading this is like reading blog entries where the author share her memory or her current daily life.
Very short summary: They were classmate in high school, get separate then back together.
Lol. Just read it yourself. You won't regret.
I'll share one of my fave parts:
--------
Once, when Mr. F and I were quarrelling, I called Hao Wu Yi immediately after the quarrel and raged, "He really crossed the line this time round! After he finished saying that sentence, I could feel the blood rushing to my head in spurts! I was so angry I nearly went crazy!"
Hao Wu Yi asked immediately, "So what exactly did he say?!"
"He said......" I grabbed the telephone, trying to recall but to no avail. "Damn, I forgot."
Hao Wu Yi ticked me off, "You're not magnanimous or forgiving, you're just plain forgetful!"
I learnt from my lesson. Thus, the second time when Mr. F and I were in the midst of a quarrel, I shouted loudly, "Wait a minute!"
I fished out my phone with lightning speed, opened the voice recording application, and directed the speaker at him.
"I'm done, continue!"
Mr. F was dumbfounded, calling me crazy before breaking out into laughter.

What I like :
This story is the one kind that you want to savor slowly. It's heartwarming to see two people influenced each other to be a better version of themselves.
Joey has interesting friends too and it's fun reading dynamic between them.
What I don't like :
They make me jealous. lol seriously I'm jealous.
At first I questioned why the author didn't use Chinese name. You can read the reason at Q&A section at the end of the story.
