"A light and sweet sapphic romance . . . for readers wanting a lighter book with a touch of deeper topics."–Booklist

“In A Bánh Mì for Two, Trinity Nguyen brings Sài Gòn to life on the page. The sights, the people, and, most importantly, the food, capture your heart just as much as the blossoming sapphic romance. A beautiful story of family, love, and home.” —Rachael Lippincott, New York Times–bestselling author of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl

“Sweet and swoony, thoughtful and real, A Bánh Mì for Two is perfect for anyone who’s ever yearned for something, but never quite found it, until the right person came along.” —Adib Khorram, award–winning author of Darius the Great Is Not Okay

“Nguyen intricately weaves an exploration of Vietnamese American identity in this charming coming-of-age story. Readers will experience the exuberance of young love while taking a delicious trip through Sài Gòn.” —Julie Tieu, author of The Donut Trap

“A delicious treat of a debut, A Bánh Mì for Two is filled with sweet romance, hearty familial love, and a rich exploration of the meaning of home. Vivi and Lan’s respective arcs beautifully complement one another, creating the perfect recipe for them as a couple.” —Racquel Marie, author of Ophelia After All

“Never have I ever yearned to fall in love on the back of a scooter before. Full of romantic conviction, Trinity Nguyen's debut is a tender balm against diaspora loss. This book has been a joy to witness come to fruition.” —Carolyn Huynh, author of The Fortunes of Jaded Women

“Sweet, tender, and oh-so-delicious, readers will fall in love with Vivi and Lan's heartfelt and intimate romance while they explore food, their culture, and eventually--each other.

"A super sweet sapphic romance with a heartwarming homage to Vietnam in all it's glory! The chemistry between Vivi and Lan, even before they met had me giggling and kicking my feet. Added to my bucket list is to try bánh mì!"
