A Ph+O Love Story

Feuding families, forbidden love, cultural exploration.

It’s that kind of book that makes you crave both love and Vietnamese cuisine, with characters whose personal growth and family dynamics resonate with anyone who's struggled to balance their own dreams with family expectations. The way Bao and Linh's romance challenges the feud between their families adds a timeless Romeo and Juliet vibe, but with a modern and relatable twist.

Description

All's fair in love, war and noodles . . . If Bao Nguyen had to describe himself, he’d say he was a rock. Steady and strong, but not particularly interesting. His grades are average, his social status unremarkable. He works at his parents’ pho restaurant, and even there, he is his parents’ fifth favorite employee. If Linh Mai had to describe herself, she’d say she was a firecracker. Stable when unlit, but full of potential for joy and spark and fire. She loves art, and she dreams of making a career of it one day. The only problem? Her parents rely on her in ways they’re not willing to admit, including expecting her to work practically full-time at their family’s pho restaurant. For decades, the Mais and the Nguyens have been at odds, having owned competing, neighboring pho restaurants. Bao and Linh have resolved never to befriend each other, for fear of pushing too far and bringing on undue heartbreak. But when a chance encounter brings Linh and Bao closer, sparks fly . . . Can Linh and Bao’s love survive in the midst of feuding families and complicated histories? This delicious debut is perfect for fans of When Dimple Met Rishi and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
