This was a fun book! it covered the 5 siblings who were playing an inheritance game their father left behind. 4 out of the 5 will take over one of his restaurants and try to save it, while the 5th one has to get married. it was entertaining and sneaky, and full of some turns I did not expect. I like that it took the characters to their roots.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for an honest review!!

THE FAMILY RECIPE follows the Tran siblings as they embark on their eccentric father's inheritance game. Each of them are assigned one location of their father's banh mi franchise and they have a year to save the business, with the exception of Jude. As the only son, Jude's task is to get married.

Underneath the scheming and petty remarks is a fractured family that doesn't know how to move past painful parts of their past. I love how the historical chapters of the book were written with care and empathy, adding depth to even the most hilariously absurd scenes.

I highly recommend this book for readers who enjoy stories about complicated family dynamics and stories that explore the experiences of first-generation Vietnamese Americans trying to create a new life in the U.S.

I rarely have time to read stories about dads and daughters. This book was spot on for uncovering a father's relationships with his daughters. The writing impressed me, and I found the book interesting. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
