A Bánh Mì for Two by Trinity Nguyen

I am UGLY CRYING over the last 50ish pages holy shit. I loved this book so much, especially learning about Sài Gòn and Vietnam and their history.
For some reason I didn’t feel the romantic love connection between Vivi and Lan which is why I bumped the rating down a bit. I loved them together, but maybe just as best friends? I’m not sure why 😭

Icing on the Cake by Christopher J. Brice
Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.
Okay… I only got 7% into this ARC (thank you to the author, I apologize pls don’t read this DNF explanation) but this book already pissed me off way too many times:
- There are so many weird and unnecessary similes (ex: it clicked like a well-oiled gear)
- The longest description of this guy’s penis (Jesus H. Christ move on)
- The crunchy sock in Gerard’s room 🤢
- Gross sexist lines such as “breasts you could get lost between,” “hump-and-dump,” and my final straw was “I shriek like a girl”
I was very excited to read this but I can’t do it if the rest of the book is anything like the first 7%

Holy fucking shit is literally all I have to say about this book. Why did it take me so long to read this? I’m pissed.
This was like Solitaire and Pretty Little Liars mixed if theywere way more serious, racially motivated, and was an entire fucking cult.
