While I really enjoyed this book I feel a bit disappointed that sweet, happy, kind Quan got such a sad book. I know the book was more focused on Anna but I just want the best for that perfect man. As someone who struggles with their mental health I hope that one day I can find someone who is as gentle and steadfast a partner as Quan.

2.0

To be honest this book, and the amount of spiciness in it, was not for me. I LOVED having an inclusive main character but I just feel that there was way too much happening in the story for me to be able to enjoy it

(Anna's autistic diagnosis, Quan's backstory, Anna's father's stroke, Quan's business deal, her family dynamics drama, etc.)

. I do think that this is a great book regarding inclusiveness and portrayal of POC characters, but I'm not sure I would recommend it to friends.
