As if losing her beloved Aunt Hao wasn’t bad enough, Evie’s life is completely falling apart. She’s been secretly dating the chair of the English department—and her boss—at the college where she teaches. And then she discovers his secret plan to fire her. Needless to say, that relationship is toast.
Now she’s at loose ends. But her aunt has left Evie her fantastic San Francisco row house, where Evie spent a great deal of time as she was growing up. Of course, there’s a catch: Evie must travel to Vietnam and participate in a matchmaking tour. She doesn’t have to fall in love, she just has to try.
Adam is in charge of marketing his sister’s matchmaking tour business. There’s a great deal of competition among companies like this in Vietnam, so Adam puts everything into his work. But given that he can’t land a successful relationship of his own, his sister dares him to join the company’s maiden tour, and he agrees.
From their very first encounter, Adam and Evie dislike each other. Adam is too stiff for Evie; Evie is too flaky for Adam. Yet every time they turn around, they run into each other again and their irritation—not to mention their chemistry—grows. Have they fallen into an enemies to lovers situation of their own?
This book was fun and romantic, and the storytelling really made me feel as if I were seeing the sights myself. That isn’t a surprise, considering Nora Nguyen is the pen name for Thao Thai, who wrote Banyan Moon. Was this predictable? Sure. But it definitely gave me the feels!!
