I loved this book. The romance was sweet but the setting really steals the show. The author manages to describe the food and locations in such a clear way that you can see it (and get a little hungry). I loved that the book addressed how the Vietnam War affected those who left the country, those who stayed, and the generations since. It was a great perspective on how members of a diaspora connect with the heritage and homeland. I really enjoyed getting to read books from a culture that I don't often see represented.
