It was a fine read from a plot and character perspective. That being said the pacing at times felt a bit off which lead to me letting my library loan end and not picking it back up again for 6 weeks.
It was a nice lunar new year romance but not a memorable book over all.
I enjoyed the funny banter but could have used more sensory descriptions at times it was hard to picture settings. That author did a great job with food descriptions and every time a food was describe I wanted to try it.

This is a solid debut and I enjoyed it. It was refreshing and new but for a book did a weird amount of 'telling' rather than showing. At times, character conversation felt constricted or stilted. It is a sweet enemies to lovers story and j look forward to more Lunar Love stories.

Did not enjoy watching this grown woman treat a guy who's been nothing but kind and lovely to her, who she clearly likes, like crap for the most insignificant, petty reasons.
Also the words "compatible" and "incompatible" have lost all meaning to me by the end of this. They don't even sound like real words anymore.
