“Will leave readers swooning.” —PopSugar
When Dimple Met Rishi meets Ugly Delicious in this funny, smart romantic comedy, in which two Vietnamese American teens fall in love and must navigate their newfound relationship amid their families’ age-old feud about their competing, neighboring restaurants.
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. Not ideal.
If Linh Mai had to describe herself, she’d say she was a firecracker. Stable when unlit, but full of potential for joy and fire. She loves art and dreams pursuing a career in it. The only problem? Her parents rely on her in ways they’re not willing to admit, including working practically full-time at her family’s pho restaurant.
For years, the Mais and the Nguyens have been at odds, having owned competing, neighboring pho restaurants. Bao and Linh, who’ve avoided each other for most of their lives, both suspect that the feud stems from feelings much deeper than friendly competition.
But then a chance encounter brings Linh and Bao in the same vicinity despite their best efforts and sparks fly, leading them both to wonder what took so long for them to connect. But then, of course, they immediately remember.
Can Linh and Bao find love in the midst of feuding families and complicated histories?

Me encantó este libro. Yo lo escuché y tener las dos voces de los protagonistas es una maravilla. Nose si a veces me perdía algunas cosas, porque hablaban en su lengua materna, pero nada que afectara la trama. Como se trató el tema de los inmigrantes hace que vea a los restaurantes asiáticos de una manera muy diferente. Esa parte me dejó reflexionando muchisimo. Y me enseño cosas sobre una cultura que yo realmente no conozco. Sin embargo, el romance del libro es totalmente para adolescentes, con un ojo adulto se ve bastante tierno. La protagonista estuvo un poquito fastidiosita la verdad. Pero muy buen libro
