A BÁNH MÌ FOR TWO is a sapphic ya romance about two teenage girls who connect over their love of street food and việt nam. lan, who works at her family's bánh mì stand and moonlights as a secret food blogger, hasn't been able to write since her father's passing. when vivi, a vietnamese-american student and devout follower of lan's writing, asks her for help to find her mother's family, the two girls find themselves exploring the streets of sài gòn and catching feelings along the way.
this was such a sweet story and i loved every part of it, but what stood out the most to me was how much i learned about vietnamese culture, history and cuisine. one of my favorite parts of reading is learning more about the world and this book was the perfect way to do that. along with that, vivi and lan's romance was so cute and i loved seeing them fall for each other, all while being on their journeys of self-discovery and growth.
read if you like:
- so much talk of delicious food
- study abroad flings
- grumpy/sunshine
thanks to netgalley and henry holt for the advanced copy!
