Blurb from Goodreads:
All's fair in love, war and noodles . . .
If
Bao Nguyen had to describe himself, he’d say he was a rock. Steady and
strong, but not particularly interesting. His grades are average, his
social status unremarkable. He works at his parents’ pho restaurant, and
even there, he is his parents’ fifth favorite employee.
If Linh
Mai had to describe herself, she’d say she was a firecracker. Stable
when unlit, but full of potential for joy and spark and fire. She loves
art, and she dreams of making a career of it one day. The only problem?
Her parents rely on her in ways they’re not willing to admit, including
expecting her to work practically full-time at their family’s pho
restaurant.
For decades, the Mais and the Nguyens have been at
odds, having owned competing, neighboring pho restaurants. Bao and Linh
have resolved never to befriend each other, for fear of pushing too far
and bringing on undue heartbreak. But when a chance encounter brings
Linh and Bao closer, sparks fly . . .
Can Linh and Bao’s love survive in the midst of feuding families and complicated histories?
Why I'm Anticipating This Book:
This sounds like such a fun book!
I'm really looking forward to reading Linh and Bao's interactions.
Yes! This was on my top wishlist from the end of 2020. I will be reading my ARC of it after I finish my current book. Great pick!
