Growing up, Evie Lang found solace in her summer visits with Auntie Hao, who created a sense of community and excitement at the beautiful row house in San Francisco that Evie could only dream of owning one day. Now an adult, working as a struggling poet and college English teacher in the Midwest, Evie has had middling success in both her career and relationships. When her beloved auntie passes away, she leaves one stipulation in her will—the house belongs to Evie, but only if she agrees to love bravely by completing a matchmaking tour in their homeland of Vietnam. Enter Adam Quyen: CMO for Love Yeu, the matchmaking startup designed by his sister Ruby. He can’t help but get distracted from his work when he meets a certain Vietnamese American, the outspoken Evie, who is nothing like the traditional woman his parents would choose. When his family, the business, and Evie’s ex all collide at once, real love may end up evaporating.
VERDICT In Nguyen’s (author of Banyan Moon writing as Thao Thai) first dive into romance, she offers a sexy tale that has relatable characters and a lush setting.
