I had seen great reviews of A Phở Love Story when it first came out which made me add it to my TBR a few years ago.  I'm surprised it hasn't become more popular since then!  

In this Romeo and Juliet-esque story, two teenagers from opposing Vietnamese restaurants begin a friendship that eventually blooms into something more.  The two restaurants are located across the street from each other and as Bao and Linh become closer, they realize there is more to their parents' feud than just food.

Young adult romance tends to be hit or miss for me but I adored this one!  I loved it so much that I finished it in one day!  I can't wait to read Loan Le's next book!
