Queen B’s Decree: Yin Yang Love Song was definitely a slow burn.
Chryssy and Vin meet up at a party where they argue over who gets to use an electric socket. And since Vin is kind of a famous musician (love that he plays cello), the internet is all over a photo that gets taken of them. So they decide to use it to their advantage and start fake dating.
Their relationship has a very slow progression. They definitely start out as strangers and evolve to friends—which slowly evolves to lovers (although basically no spice, FYI). It felt a lot less about the romance and a lot more about the understanding of self and personal growth.
The side characters were fun and interesting and really made the story more fun. And all the information about Traditional Chinese Medicine was so educational and I wanted to learn more.
Overall, Yin Yang Love Song was a fun and quick read but I was hoping for more romance. But both narrators were top tier.
