 I adore everything about Fake Dates and Mooncakes!

Through a chance encounter, Theo is determined to make things right with Drew for his best friends theatrics.

Theo finds himself smitten with Drew and his family, but things get a little awkward when Theo "secretly" helps, which leaves Drew feeling obligated to return the favor.

Despite the differences in their social classes and family drama, Theo and Drew bond over their shared grief and cultural history.

For a debut novel, this is everything I needed and so much more, from the fake-boyfriend ploy to the culinary references and everything in between.

I can't wait to read more from Sher!
