This book has me craving Vietnamese food BIG TIME!! Like give me all the pho, banh mi, banh xeo, literally everything! The amount of times I was tempted to order Vietnamese food just so I could eat it while reading this was crazy 😂 anyways, this book was a cutie read - very fluffy + we have a Romeo & Juliet situation going on. This book as a whole was just okay. I liked the characters and the setting was cool - but it was just very average and did feel a little boring at times, so therefore it is a 3 star read for me ⭐️  but would still recommend this one, especially if you're looking for a coming of age YA forbidden love romance!
