This was so cute and heartwarming. A great way to start my reading year.

I loved Dylans family. They were all lovable and real-feeling characters. 
Some of Theo's relatives were also great! And some of course not so much. 👀

I can't really say much. I just really enjoyed this story. It is a simply romantic-drama-comedy and delivers what it should.

I did find the few Chinese sayings and Legends they were talking about really interesting. The story behind mooncakes is actually fascinating.

Recommend!
