While I didn't fully connect with Dylan and got a bit frustrated with his assumptions at times, him and Theo are adorable. Unfortunately, I can't rate this book 5 stars because even with suspension of disbelief, it still made huge leaps in logic at time.

Megan and Terri are both a mood, and I really feel like Terri got a large focus by the story, despite not being part of the main cast and I love it. Theo is just a gem. Aunt Jade is a fantastic parental figure and truly deserves the world. 

Unsurprisingly, this book made me crave mooncakes, so... I'm off to try and make some, but I must say something before I go:
This book is an amazing summer read, full of cute fluff and romance. While definitely not something revolutionary, it deserves some hype for being adorable <3
