YIN YANG LOVE SONG

Chryssy’s family is cursed. While her uncles have all had long and happy marriages, generations of Hua women—Chryssy included—have been destined never to find lasting love, experiencing everything from prom night breakups to cheating spouses. Still reeling after a broken engagement, Chryssy has thrown herself into her job as a Traditional Chinese Medicine chef and acupuncturist, living and working with her three aunties at the Wildflower Inn, a holistic retreat on Washington’s Whidbey Island. She’s determined to help other people overcome their heartbreaks using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mindful movement. Enter Vin Chao, half of the famous pair of rock cellists known as the Chao Brothers and a renowned serial dater who’s captured the hearts of many, including Chryssy’s aunties. After a chance encounter at the Wildflower Inn during which they irritate each other, they wind up striking a deal: Vin and Chryssy will fake date one another to help their respective careers. Vin thinks a public breakup will sell tickets for the Chao Brothers’ upcoming world tour, while Chryssy thinks having Vin’s name attached to the Wildflower Inn will attract visitors. But after an unexpected kiss, Vin and Chryssy find themselves struggling to balance their fake relationship with very real feelings. Jessen has crafted another charming, heartwarming romance that highlights Chinese culture as well as finding true love. The chapters alternate between Chryssy and Vin’s points of view, and readers will be rooting for both of them to figure out how to break an ancient curse and discover more about themselves and each other along the way.
