Crazy Bao You by Lyn Liao Butler is a heartwarming and delightful romance novel that will leave readers feeling warm and fuzzy inside. The story of Kimmie and Matt is one of mistaken identity and long-distance love, and it's impossible not to root for them as they navigate their feelings and their pasts. The dual POV allows readers to see both sides of the story, and it's easy to get lost in the chemistry and banter between the two main characters.

But what really sets this book apart are the B plotline, particularly Frank and Nana, who add depth and heart to the story. The themes of family, grief, and identity are woven seamlessly into the plot, and readers will find themselves moved by Kimmie's journey to embrace who she really is and let go of her past.

Overall, Crazy Bao You is a charming and enjoyable read that will make readers smile and swoon. With well-rounded characters, a well-written plot, and plenty of heart, this book is a must-read for fans of sweet and satisfying romances. Really filled a hole in my heart with what I was looking for, but unfortunately don't think it will be a memorable read

Matt and Kimmie - this is a super cute and light hearted rom com with lots of feels. Bao, craft, a viral meme, mistaken identity, New York, firefighters, controlling dads, secret adoption, so so many things but wonderful fun! There's a great sense of found family for both leads and a sweet romance. Thoroughly recommended - a great read!

Thanks very much to NetGalley and the author for the ARC.

Thank you Netgalley for an ARC of this book.

Well this was CUTE. I really liked the whole mistaken identity aspect and the cross country instalove vibes. This book was well written and flowed really nicely and you know me, I am a sucker for a Dual POV. Frank and Nana were the unsung heroes of this book. Also enjoyed the fact that neither of the main characters annoyed me- both well rounded, good people deserving of good things!
