2022 Reading Challenge: a book with cutlery on the cover

A Pho Love Story by Loan Le

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Romeo and Juliet in Little Saigon.

They come from rival restaurant families. Caught between family loyalty, personal interests, school assignments and a growing attraction to each other.

But they learn that what they thought was a rivalry that started when the two restaurants opened up across from each other is actually something that started before either family came to America.

But they need to do is figure what caused the disagreement before it causes the rivalry to grow and cause more anger within each family.


++++

This was a cute retelling of Romeo and Juliet that does not take itself seriously. In fact several times secondary characters saying that the two were living a modern-day Romeo and Juliet.

I found this book good, and did not require heavy thinking.

The only down side.... I was craving Pho the entire time I listened to the book.
