After reading a thriller book, I wanted a cozy, sweet and cute romance book, and now I found it. This is actually a 6★ read for me. This will be my all time favourite book. If there is any other books written by this author, I want to read them.
I don't know how to say goodbye to the characters. Theo and Dylan, their love is so cute. Theo is a gentleman. There are glimpses of such a great moments between Theo and Dylan. There are some incidents that tells us how loyal and loving Theo is to Dylan.
And also the other characters, Aunt Jade, Megan, Tim, Clover (their adorable little dog), Bernard, Terri. All of these characters are my favourites. There are some characters that are Hateable.
The story is so interesting. There are so many things that describes cooking, about chinese culuture and stories and so many interesting things too.
I loved this book. And I can't get this book out of my head. Theo and Dylan will live in my heart forever.
While reading this book, it felt home to me. I thought of myself as a part of their family.
I looooovvvveeee thisss book ❤️❤️

I loved the conflicts and how both Dylan and Theo had to resolve issues, instead of it just being a one sided conflict. It really makes the story more realistic and interesting.
Honestly i’m sure there are flaws im forgetting to bring up, but the book just made me happy! I looked forward to reading it and it left me feeling cozy and giggly and that’s what really matters! My only wish was that it was longer, I wanted to stay with the characters more.

It was very sweet and cute, at some moments I even laughed out loud💕
Made me smile,laugh,cry and look at the non existence camera in my room with a shocked expression
I’m a sucker for cute familial relationships an this was a 10/10 on that scale
Only reason it’s not a 5⭐️ is because I wish it was longer. The start felt rushed and I wish we saw the characters become friends before they started fake dating.
I found it a bit odd how the characters saw each other like one time and then went to a wedding as fake boyfriends😐
Idk man that just made me annoyed but the rest of the story made up for it🤭
