After years of constant work and the sudden death of his mother, Ryan is taking some much-needed time off. But as he tries to be supportive to his family, he struggles with his loss and doesn't know how to talk to his dad-who now trolls him on Twitter instead of meeting him for dim sum. This one blew me away, and while that’s highly subjective, based on my personal connection to the characters, I’d say this is one read I’ll be coming back to." trope-forward contemporaries are as sugary and irresistible as the desserts her characters create."- New York Times Book ReviewĪ baker provides the sweetest escape for an actor in this charming romantic comedy.Īctor Ryan Kwok is back in Toronto after the promotional tour for his latest film, a rom-com that is getting less-than-stellar reviews. So, while this book can stand alone, I highly recommend reading Donut Fall In Love first for the whole experience. It’s not witty one-liners or hooks, but just slice of life style romance that if you’ve read the first book in the series you can appreciate more. I cried for Mel too.Īfter I read this book I kept thinking how there was a high emotional draw for me and yet this wasn’t one of those fast-paced reads. Mel has his own battles to fight from being constantly doomed with short-term relationships and always searching for someone to belong to, a place to be himself where he isn’t ‘too much’. Someone who just wants to be with her any way he can with no expectations for change.
It’s horrible and I didn’t know how Lau could ever repair what was already broken, but she did.
A stand-up comic that Vivian has always admired, but he’s a goofball, and from their first meeting in Donut Fall In Love, these two clash. She’s this strong woman who’s used to fielding everything on her own and never expecting anyone to take care of her, ever.Įnter our hero, Melvin Lee. At first on the inside and then on the outside. But all of those like mes had me crying for Vivian repeatedly as this story evolved. She’s so me it’s crazy and we still have very different backgrounds. Vivian is an older child (like me), a career woman (like me) with a private hobby (like me) and is queer (like me). Jackie Lau also joins this prestigious group because her second entry in the Donut Fall In Love series spoke to me on a visceral level, especially our heroine Vivian Liao. Beverley Kendall, our lovely blog runner is one of them. Let’s preface this review by saying very few books make me cry.
