Looking for a fresh teen romance with a mix of humor, drama, and a little something sweet? Bingsu for Two by Sujin Witherspoon might just be the perfect read for you. The story follows River Langston-Lee, a high school junior who’s been through the ringer with her breakup from her long-time girlfriend, Emily. The worst part? They’re still in the same school, making things super awkward for River every single day.

But the drama doesn’t stop there. River ends up taking a job at a Korean café, where she’s thrown into a whole new world filled with delicious food and complicated emotions. It’s at the café where she meets Noah, a coworker who seems like he’s got his own personal issues. At first, they can’t stand each other—River’s dealing with her ex, and Noah’s just…well, Noah. But, of course, you can guess where this is going: the whole enemies-to-lovers thing starts to kick in as River and Noah begin to open up to each other in ways neither expected.

What makes Bingsu for Two stand out is how it captures the messy parts of teen life—breakups, first jobs, and navigating your way through high school. River’s emotional journey is super relatable, and the way the book handles her healing process after the breakup feels real and raw. Plus, the whole café setting adds a cozy vibe to the story, especially since bingsu (a sweet Korean dessert) is a big part of River’s healing journey.

This book is a great pick for anyone who loves a good romance with a side of personal growth. If you’re into characters who start off at odds but end up learning about themselves and each other, Bingsu for Two is definitely worth checking out. Grab a copy, and get ready for a story that’ll make you laugh, swoon, and maybe crave a little dessert along the way.
