I loved the representation in this book. I never thought about how little books there are about mixed races, and I absolutely loved this one! I loved getting to know both Olivia and Bennett. Being adopted from Korea, I have always called myself a fake Asian, so I really resonated with Bennett. I really enjoyed learning more about the Chinese Zodiac and Chinese traditions (don’t want to spoil, but traditions towards end of book).
This one surprised me because it went against the typical romcom structure. What I thought would be a conversation towards the end of the book happened sooner, and wasn’t the predictable blowout I was expecting. There were so many honest conversations between Olivia and Bennett. This book will make you smile, laugh, cry and leave you with warmth in your heart.
Thank you so much Forever for my gifted copy in exchange for a honest review!
