ljrinaldi 's review for:
Fake Dates and Mooncakes
by Sher Lee
Oh this is such a delightful book. Makes me hungry just reading it. Not that I want to make my own mooncakes, but I definitely need to seek them out when they become available, and eat some, though I doubt I’ll find any as good as Dylan makes in this lovely rom-com young adult romance.
Dylan works at his aunt's take-out. One evening, he has to also make deliveries, because they are down one driver. He does a meet cute with, what he presumes, is the boyfriend of his customer, Theo, because he is in his underwear, and calls him Baby. (Turns out they are just good friends, and he has called him BB, his nickname.)
The customer is pissed, however, that they got the order wrong, and writes a horrid review, which brings their ratings down, so Theo comes to apologize for his friend's behavior. And so begins the fake dating, because Theo wants to pretend he has a boyfriend so he won’t be bugged to get one, and Dylan goes along because he has fallen in love with him, so he has to pretend to be his boyfriend, while all the time wishing he was.
It is all quite cute. The writing is lovely, and even though it is a little crazy, it all makes sense.
Oh, and the mooncakes? Dylan is trying to create his late mother’s mooncake recipe for a contest with a foodie show, so that he can get publicity for his aunt’s place.
Highly recommended for those who love their rom-coms mixed up with cooking, and food, and delightful boys in love.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
