This one was not for me but you might like it if you're looking for:
• a second-chance romance with a sex positive vibe and descriptive sex scenes
• an #OwnVoices Vietnamese American perspective with an ethnically diverse cast
• foodie fiction with Vietnamese, soul food, and New Orleans flare
• a strong female lead with short- and long-term career goals that contribute to the sexual health, wellness, enjoyment, and education of underserved populations
• the friends with benefits trope with a twist, more like exes-trying-to-maybe-be-friends-but-definitely-wanting-those-benefits-either-way trope
• a Boss Babes squad of supportive characters
• a neighborhood community of supportive friends and elders
• a story that touches on first gen immigrant and minority children and the pressures of family, community, and cultural expectations
• a story that touches on gentrification

And you're not turned off by:
• extended steamy sex scenes and frank language about sex and sex toys
• strong language
• death of a parent (background); health scare involving a parent
• writing that doesn't convey the depth of the relationships or characters, leaning hard on signposting dialogue and sexual chemistry between the leads
