Another example of why I love enemies/rivals to lovers! Theo and Gabi are incredibly relatable with their internal and external struggles. I love how smoothly they fall for each other! Theo’s rugged perspective and Gabi’s innocent one pair so nicely too. The story did get a bit chaotic, but it just works with the characters and their messy views of themselves/the world.

That ending though has me wanting more! I want to know what happens next - how Theo and Gabi’s lives, as well as their families, changes with ‘new developments’! Café con Lychee, which is a delicious name (pun absolutely intended), is one of those books that has potential for expansion. I don’t know if that was the author’s intention but either way, I loved this book!

[It has also, unsurprisingly, made me hungry for something sweet.]
