Summary
'Narrators Carolina Do and VyVy Nguyen delight listeners as two foodie teens who fall in love in Vietnam in this sweet sapphic YA romance.'—AudioFile

In this sweet sapphic romance about two foodies in love, Vivi meets Lan while studying abroad in Vietnam and they spend the semester unraveling their families' histories—and eating all the street food in Sài Gòn.

In Sài Gòn, Lan is always trying to be the perfect daughter, dependable and willing to care for her widowed mother and their bánh mì stall. Her secret passion, however, is A Bánh Mì for Two, the food blog she started with her father, but has stopped updating since his passing.

Meanwhile, Vietnamese American Vivi Huynh, has never been to Việt Nam. Her parents rarely even talk about the homeland that clearly haunts them. So Vivi secretly goes to Vietnam for a study abroad program her freshman year of college. She’s determined to figure out why her parents left, and to try everything she’s seen on her favorite food blog, A Bánh Mì for Two.

When Vivi and Lan meet in Sài Gòn, they strike a deal. Lan will show Vivi around the city, helping her piece together her mother’s story through crumbling photographs and old memories. Vivi will help Lan start writing again so she can enter a food blogging contest. And slowly, as they explore the city and their pasts, Vivi and Lan fall in love.

Thank you Macmillan Audio for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own. This book is the perfect lesbian love story. It had me giggling and kicking my feet. The story follows Vivi, a university exchange student, and Lan, a street food vendor and blog writer, as they meet and fall in love.The fact that the story is told in alternating first person POV means that it is very easy to step into the audiobook and understand the different perspectives. Both narrators, Carolina Do and VyVy Nguyen, speak with emotion and easily differentiate voices for different characters. Their voices also fit extremely well with what I imagine the main characters to be, especially Lan's narrator.I can imagine the movie in my mind as I'm listening to the audiobook. Definitely tune in if you're looking for a cute sapphic love story.
