“But in anything you love, isn‘t there always some bit of sadness, some essence of suffering? That, to me, is what makes art worth it. Suffer through it—mine the emotions you keep inside yourself, face whatever‘s emotionally burdensome, take control of it—then emerge reborn in the end.”

A star-crossed/enemies to lovers trope that I loved so much! Definitely love the competing Vietnamese food shops story, and it's a solid romance! So adorable! #ya #romance

I finished my second of three goals for the #AwesomeApril readathon. This was a wonderful story and I highly recommend listening to this one because you get to hear the Vietnamese words as they should be pronounced. If I was just reading them, I would never get it like I did reading it.

This is a Romeo and Juliet like story. Two families with rival restaurants, and the son of one and daughter of the other become paired in a project 👇

and become close.
But is the families businesses the only reason for the hate between the two?

This is not just a story of these two teens and finding their independence, but of these two families and what they endured coming from Vietnam during a very difficult time, of dealing with racism in today's world, of finding truth and forgiveness.

I am usually a sucker for love stories with food, but I found this one to be a little bland. I still enjoyed the Vietnamese culture. And I‘m definitely hungry for pho now 🍜 😋 🎧

I know places mentioned here! But also, the restaurants are not real. Really great story; way more to it than what the synopsis says, in a good way.

I picked this book up thinking it was going to be a sweet young adult romance and it was. But it was also so much more. What it's like to grow up as a Restaurant kid. The struggle of finding your own path when it differs from you parents expectations. The bigotry that immigrants face when trying to live the American Dream. 🗽

cariashley As a restaurant kid myself, I might need to pick this up! 3y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @cariashley there's quite a lot about being a restaurant kid. 3y
