A sweet and easy read. While many of the tropes are common, every once in a while the story pulls a surprise. The characters find more in common than their initial attraction that makes them feel grounded. Great if you’re looking for a sweet, queer romance, with an HEA and lots of East-Asian cultural and food references. I was definitely hungry when I finished.
Reviews and Comments
I read primarily queer books. I love everything from basic mlm romances to classic literature to contemporary fiction. I’m slowly trying to add more non-fiction and challenging subject matter, but I don’t need any additional dystopia in my life. My spice tolerance fluctuates, so sometimes I want all the spice and sometimes I can skim over it.

An adorable novella where Jamie gets an opportunity to shine. For most of Us Jamie was working through depression and health issues. Here he gets to be more proactive, which I love for both him and Wes.
