I’d been looking forward to Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee since… I think around February last year? That’s almost an entire year of anticipation and being super excited for what sounded like an adorable read.

Okay, today’s review is for a book that’s well and truly embedded itself into my all-time favourites.
