The Donut Trap by Julie Tieu
3.0

Read if you like:

So We Meet Again

In Julie Tieu's debut novel, Jasmine is working at her parents' donut shop longing for a future with a boyfriend and a job she likes. Jasmine is a sweet main character, and paired with her spicy best friend, charming crush, and honestly adorable parents, the character cast was wonderful.

While the characters are out of college, categorizing The Donut Trap as a "new adult" romance, this book gave off more of a YA vibe for me. If they were still in high school, it would've felt normal in this book. This story was a sweet one (pun intended) and great if you are looking for a lighthearted, charming read.
