A review by alyanah
Lunar Love by Lauren Kung Jessen

4.0

I enjoyed this enemies-to-lovers story that pitted traditional values with modern technology. I loved all the food descriptions, and learning more about Chinese zodiac signs and compatibility. I did get frustrated at times with the main character, Olivia (a horse), and her stubbornness. Especially when the source of this stubbornness was kept mostly vague, and its reveal later in the story fell a bit flat. I loved the banter between her and Bennett (a Rat, the same sign as me!). From the beginning, it's easy to see what the solution is to their company rivalry, but it was still fun watching the characters get there. My favorite character of all, though, was Olivia's Pó Po, the matriarch of the family and the founder of Lunar Love. I loved their relationship, and it was refreshing and heartwarming to see a positive familial relationship in an Asian-American story.
