A Ph? Love Story | 
“But in anything you love, isn‘t there always some bit of sadness, some essence of suffering? That, to me, is what makes art worth it. Suffer through it—mine the emotions you keep inside yourself, face whatever‘s emotionally burdensome, take control of it—then emerge reborn in the end.”

pickI finished my second of three goals for the #AwesomeApril readathon. This was a wonderful story and I highly recommend listening to this one because you get to hear the Vietnamese words as they should be pronounced. If I was just reading them, I would never get it like I did reading it.
This is a Romeo and Juliet like story. Two families with rival restaurants, and the son of one and daughter of the other become paired in a project 👇
Sushi and a book. This is A Pho Love Story by Loan Le, about two rival pho restaurants and teens who fall in love.
so-so⭐️⭐️💫
I am usually a sucker for love stories with food, but I found this one to be a little bland. I still enjoyed the Vietnamese culture. And I‘m definitely hungry for pho now 🍜 😋 🎧
pickI know places mentioned here! But also, the restaurants are not real. Really great story; way more to it than what the synopsis says, in a good way.
pickI picked this book up thinking it was going to be a sweet young adult romance and it was. But it was also so much more. What it's like to grow up as a Restaurant kid. The struggle of finding your own path when it differs from you parents expectations. The bigotry that immigrants face when trying to live the American Dream. 🗽
