This book was genuinely so cute. It was a slow burn in its own way, and I’m so happy for My most of all.

For readers who know what they're getting into with this book, I think it's enjoyable and sweet. Not your typical romance, this book deals with immigration, autism, and grief. Esme is hoping to better her life for herself and her family that she left in Vietnam. Khai is autistic, and having been hurt in the past, he refuses to let anyone else get close to him. I felt there was a lot going on with the side stories and not as much development of the relationship between Esme and Khai, which had a lot of potential for material. The ending tried to wrap everything up neatly, but it was a little too rushed for that.

I love good sexual tension. But the constant “Oh she’s so sexy- but wait no I can’t think that” was obnoxious. The ending was not satisfying.

This is my favorite book of the three in the series. It has fun main characters and an interesting dynamic between them.
