If Romeo and Juliet were set in California and featured families feuding nonviolently over their rival Vietnamese restaurants, you'd get this tender-hearted romance by debut author Le. Despite their parents' restaurants being across the street from each other, Bao and Linh are bound by their families' decades-long feud to avoid one another indefinitely. Until an unexpected partnership covering restaurant reviews for the school newspaper has them spending more and more time together. This is a pick-me-up of a book, perfect for readers looking to escape into the reassuring comfort of a happy ending.
