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.

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.
