\u201cI\u2019m just saying that you\u2019re allowed to exist separately from your family. If you want. Many of us feel indebted to our parents, but the truth is, parenthood is a choice they made. We can\u2019t dedicate our lives to pleasing others. Love isn\u2019t transactional like that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Evie Lang\u2019s life is in shambles. On the heels of losing her beloved aunt, she\u2019s unceremoniously fired from her poetry professorship by her secret boyfriend. Lacking income and inspiration, she\u2019s stuck in Ohio with no idea how to move forward, until hope arrives in a surprising letter. Auntie H\u1ea3o left Evie the deed to her San Francisco row house, a place full of Evie\u2019s happiest memories. The catch? To inherit, she must go on a pre-arranged matchmaking tour in Vi\u1ec7t Nam. The last thing Evie wants is to spend time with a group of strangers looking for love. But she can\u2019t resist the chance to finally visit her family\u2019s native home. A world away, Adam Quy\u1ec1n has a chip on his shoulder. He\u2019s working around the clock as CMO for his sister\u2019s elite matchmaking business, a job complicated by her insistence that he knows nothing about love. He\u2019s desperate to prove himself, so when she challenges him to join the inaugural tour, he reluctantly agrees. Adam thinks Evie is chaotic and unpredictable. Evie thinks Adam is grumpy and uptight. But from the bustling streets of H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh City to the soaring waterfalls in \u0110\u00e0 L\u1ea1t, they keep getting thrown together, their animosity charged with attraction\u2026and they discover that true love may be out there, if they are willing to take a leap.<\/p>\n

This book caught me off guard \u2013 in the best way possible. At first glance, it seemed like just another rom-com, but it\u2019s so much more. I am obsessed with a forced-proximity, grumpy-sunshine story, and the matchmaking tour was a perfect, fun adventure to have it set. It was such a perfect honeymoon read (and an easy one too!!) and I wasn\u2019t able to put it down. Every character had a story and I felt connect to each one of them, even the background characters. <\/p>\n

4.5 stars for this novel. The author cleverly uses the romance genre as a vehicle to explore deeper themes of cultural identity, family expectations, and personal growth. If you\u2019re looking for a read that balances entertainment with substance, offering both laughs and food for thought, this book delivers. It\u2019s a refreshing take on the romance genre that will appeal to readers looking for something beyond the typical formula.<\/p>\n
