Publisher Description
Heartstopper meets Crazy Rich Asians in this heartfelt, joyful paperback original rom-com that follows an aspiring chef who discovers the recipe for love is more complicated than it seems when he starts fake-dating a handsome new customer.
Dylan Tang wants to win a Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake-making competition for teen chefs—in memory of his mom, and to bring much-needed publicity to his aunt’s struggling Chinese takeout in Brooklyn.
Enter Theo Somers: charming, wealthy, with a smile that makes Dylan’s stomach do backflips. AKA a distraction. Their worlds are sun-and-moon apart, but Theo keeps showing up. He even convinces Dylan to be his fake date at a family wedding in the Hamptons.
In Theo’s glittering world of pomp, privilege, and crazy rich drama, their romance is supposed to be just pretend . . . but Dylan finds himself falling for Theo. For real. Then Theo’s relatives reveal their true colors—but with the mooncake contest looming, Dylan can’t risk being sidetracked by rich-people problems.
Can Dylan save his family’s business and follow his heart—or will he fail to do both?

I cried it is so good! Also loved that there was no homophobia drama!
Love and Laughter
What I especially liked about this book was how it presents both serious topics and mixes them in with parts that made me literally laugh out loud. It was definitely worth the time to read, I’d recommend taking a chance on it.
Cute romance story and a heartwarming affirmation to a gay Singaporean American
I truly loved this book. My own perspective in life felt acknowledged throughout the story as a gay, (half)-Singaporean myself. Thank you, Sher Lee, for this beautiful story.
