A Taste for Love - Jennifer Yen Kartoniert (TB)

For fans of Jenny Han Jane Austen and The Great British Baking Show A Taste for Love is a delicious rom-com about first love familial expectations and making the perfect bao. To her friends high school senior Liza Yang is nearly perfect. Smart kind and pretty she dreams big and never shies away from a challenge. But to her mom Liza is anything but. Compared to her older sister Jeannie Liza is stubborn rebellious and worst of all determined to push back against all of Mrs. Yang's traditional values especially when it comes to dating. The one thing mother and daughter do agree on is their love of baking. Mrs. Yang is the owner of Houston's popular Yin & Yang Bakery. With college just around the corner Liza agrees to help out at the bakery's annual junior competition to prove to her mom that she's more than her rebellious tendencies once and for all. But when Liza arrives on the first day of the bake-off she realizes there's a catch: all of the contestants are young Asian American men her mother has handpicked for Liza to date. The bachelorette situation Liza has found herself in is made even worse when she happens to be grudgingly attracted to one of the contestants:the stoic impenetrable annoyingly hot James Wong. As she battles against her feelings for James and for her mother's approval Liza begins to realize there's no tried and true recipe for love.
