A CORGI NAMED CLOVER?? SO CUTE! And how is Theo so smooth??
I sometimes forget how much I love it when I read books that include a lot of culture. It’s been a long time since I first heard of mooncakes but ever since then I’ve wanted to try them. Knowing the relation to history and culture, I have even more respect for what they represent. Also, it was cool hearing about Chang’e again. I remember learning a bit about the story from the movie, Over the Moon.
So I honestly love the relationship between Theo and Dylan - how easy it somehow felt. Though I guess that’s also why I’m giving this book 4.5 stars instead of 5. I would’ve liked just a LITTLE more rocky-ness with their relationship. On the other hand, the book works great for a completely feel-good romance story where, no matter what happens, you get the sense it’ll have a happy ending. I don’t dislike that at all! I definitely already want to read this book again!
Fake Dates and Mooncakes is delightfully cute, cultural, and has a corgi named Clover. Cue the chef’s kiss!
