For me, it's fake dating. I absolutely love the it's-just-a-favor that turns into Real Feelings™. I eat that shit up!

I knew I was going to love Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee because it's in the title. And it didn't disappoint. In this Crazy Rich Asians meets Heartstopper YA rom-com, Dylan and Theo are absolutely precious and I would protect them both with my life! There's baking, swoony moments, rediscovering lost family mooncake recipes, learning about your heritage, and so many food references that will have you craving xiao long bao the entire book. Did I mention there's also a corgi named Clover?

If you're a fan of fake dating like I am, I highly recommend this wonderful debut by Sher Lee!

Abbie’s bedroom (20th Century Women, 2016)

I’ll break the whole apartment in separate posts because the whole house in 20th Century Women is my fucking favorite apartment (not because it’s a mike mills movie okay okay) ever in my lifetime of watching films.
