This book was as cute as the cover!
I didn’t realize before I started it that it’s a YA, and it felt that it was because at some points they (especially Dylan) acted a bit childish, but it was still such a cute read and I definitely recommend it!
I loved the characters, especially Theo- a true gentleman, and Megan! Ooo and clover!! Megan and Dylan’s relationship reminded me of the Humphrey sibling’s in Gossip girl, which I loved!
I absolutely loved to learn more about another culture since I didn’t know anything before but it was so interesting! Loved the food content too!
The found family was perfect! I loved the fake dating, one bed and the whole contest part!
Overall, a really good book the only thing that made it not five stars was that, for me, it didn’t have ✨that✨ if you know what I mean!
The only thing I didn’t like with this book was those, like, three third act breakups- all by Dylan and for not that valid reasons.
And omigosh, the way Theo flew half around the world and missed his own 18th birthday to see Dylan’s grandparents and get the special ingredient?! Melting on the spot<333 He helped with the mooncakes, the Revolc foundation, the tailored suit, him defending Dylan, him opening up to Dylan, his relationship with Tim, just all of him is perfection<33
