I lovedddd this book!! It was written really well and really did a good job capturing their emotions... the only downside was that it was so similar to Tweet Cute - toooo similar if u ask me... but anyway, loved the story (they make a cuteee couple!!) so giving this 4.5 stars but I just can't round it up...

I loved learning more about the culture and food. The way the food was described made me want to try them. The main characters were likable, but sounded a bit the same. They had a lot in common, maybe too much? The romance felt flat. The falling in love part was rather quickly and without chemistry. I was reading this as part of a group read. If I had been reading it on my own I'd probably not have finished it. It was overall okay, but I didn't love it

This was a high school drama written for middle schoolers ? Did not finish at 30%

Cute, cozy YA romance with all the tropes you’ve come to know and love. Star crossed lovers from families with competing restaurants and secrets buried in the past - what’s not to like? It’s a little fluffy and obviously is YA so the spice level is zero but it was a great palate cleanser and it made me want to order takeout with every chapter

Bao and Linh’s families own restaurants across the street from one another. They don’t know when or how the rivalry began, but it has always been there. Then Bao and Linh’s lives intersect and a relationship begins. They got want to make their parents proud. But between their friendship and not knowing what to do after high school, it feels like they are disappointing their parents. They also don’t realize how much history their families share.
