So much wow! I can hardly form words right now, because my mind is still reeling from this book. The series started out strong and ended even stronger!

Omgz! The cliffhanger ending! I need more now!

Oh my goodness! This book is so cute. So clever and witty. And the pacing is great. I couldn't put this book down.

This is an absolutely beautiful tearjerker of a book. It is about chasing your dreams and not giving up, even (and especially) in the face of discrimination.

A delightful continuation in the Adenashire series. Warm and cozy. Sweet, tender, emotional, and quirky. This book has a fast-paced plot with enough hijinks and shenanigans to keep readers thoroughly engaged.

Omgz, I loved this cover. I couldn't resist!

A lovely classic with lots of witty banter and plenty of moments of intrigue. Good rising and falling action.

What a surprisingly fantastic book. Once I got into it I blew through it, unable to put it down. The characters are strong, yet vulnerable. The plot is full of intrigue and mystery. The world building is rich and enthralling. And the main character's suitors are both equally captivating—dark and brooding and thoroughly mysterious. I loved how the slow burn romance continued to tease and tantalize throughout.

I had some issues with the writing. Some of the paragraphs were split in strange ways, making it a bit confusing to follow who was doing what. Also, the prose were a bit basic.

Bland and sterile—very mechanical. I was hoping for something fun, exciting, and tantalizing, but I just couldn't get into this one. It was a DNF for me.

Beautiful, magical, emotional, and deeply layered. I really loved this book.

This story is a beautiful love letter to food, Chinese culture, and to second chances.
