Café Con Lychee by Emery Lee
3.5

This was such a cute YA book! I kept seeing this one posted during the TransReadAThon which also was promoting queer stories. If you know me, you know that I love when romances and any book have 2 POVs (I absolutely loved the narrator for Theo's POV). Each character had their own family struggles but yet a common bond over each of their family's business being in trouble. They decided to start selling food at school to draw buzz to their family's respected business. I definitely don't know what it's like to have a family the owns a business so I'm not sure I can attest that the fate of a store should not be determined by a teenager. I also am not sure the average teenager would go to such great lengths to save their family's business. 

It was just a cute listen, thought the pacing was fine and went quick.
