This book was cute, and I loved the cooking aspect of the story. Dylan and Theo's relationship development was good, and I liked the way the story played out. One thing that felt a little weird was how they were both seniors in high school, but this felt way more adult in the issues they had. Of course, the high school aspects showed with the reactions in their relationship, but it took me a little bit to get into the idea of their age in this situation. Overall cute, fun story, and I liked learning more about the Chinese and Singapore culture.
