Cafè Con Lychee was such a sweet and simple read. I thought the development of the plot and the characters was amazing and true. I loved the nods to culture and traditional norms. There was the dad that was masculine and felt that femininity in men was negative, but also with the other family the standards that many younger siblings feel to live up to their older ones. There was a struggle between both families as the two kids worked together to save each other's shops. I can’t say too much without spoiling the book, but it’s worth the read. I was so into it that I read it all over a weekend. 

I would read this again, especially in the summer. Even though it’s primarily set in the fall, it feels like a summer book. I give it a solid 4/5.
