I listened to A Pho Love Story by Loan Le on
audio and I have to say that listening to it added to my experience.
Hearing the Vietnamese words spoken out loud if not my native speakers at least
by narrators that spoke the language. I also loved that there
were two narrators one for Bao's point of view and one for Linh's point of
view. To say that this is a YA Romeo and Juliet like story because their
parents own competing restaurants would be a disservice to the book.
Because A Pho Love Story is
so much more, it's a coming of age story as well as a family saga in YA form.
Not only do Bao and Linh have to discover were they fit in in their own
families while having their own dreams for the future but their families past
will also play a part. If you read this do yourself a favor and listen to
the audiobook you won't be disappointed.
