The Donut Trap

I think my issue was I went into this book thinking that it was a cooking romance which in fact it is not. I mean there is cooking and a romance but they are separated. Tbh I liked jasmine a lot but I really didn't like the love interest that much

This was a fun one for the most part, especially with Natalie's narration of the audiobook. I guess I just feel very uncomfortable these days with books exploring Asian parents' relationships with their children, because they hit too close my heart and current situation and I don't want to encounter in books too. The resolution also never feels satisfactory because I probably am looking for something different personally. But it's unfair to project my insecurities onto the book.

I however have to say that I seem to have lost my touch with contemporary romance novels these days, so this one didn't necessarily excite me. It was cute while I was reading, the love story was only a small part, loved the donuts, but ultimately it was nothing very special. Also, I love when I can understand little mandarin words and phrases.
