Crazy Bao You by Lynn Liao is a great romantic comedy that had me laughing out loud. Kimmie Park has her own Etsy shop and is laying low after a video of her has gone viral. Matt West is a FDNY firefighter who is trying to break away from the family business and be his own person. Kimmie lives in Oklahoma and Matt lives in NYC and their story is filled with laughter, twists, and heart.
Kimmie and Matt are wonderful characters that I enjoyed rooting for. It was a pleasure getting to know everyone in Kimmie’s and Matt’s families and I appreciated that they had supportive friends. The author weaves in the weightier topics of birth moms, fears, and grief in such a beautiful way within the context of a very funny story.
I enjoyed Crazy Bao You with its themes of making peace with your past, family and identity. I enjoyed laughing out loud and meeting a great cast of characters. I highly recommend it.
I received a copy of the story from the publisher and was not required to write a positive review.
Lyn Liao Butler, author of upmarket fiction, thrillers, and romcoms, was born in Taiwan and moved to the States when she was seven. Before becoming an author, she was a professional ballet and modern dancer, and is still a personal trainer, fitness instructor, and yoga instructor. She is an avid animal lover and fosters dogs as well as volunteers with rescues.
When she is not torturing clients or talking to imaginary characters, Lyn enjoys spending time with her FDNY husband, their son (the happiest little boy in the world), their three stubborn dachshunds (Lokie, Mochi, Cash, and Pinot in heaven), sewing for her Etsy shop, and trying crazy yoga poses on a stand-up paddleboard. So far, she has not fallen into the water yet.
