Fake Dates and Mooncakes

by Sher Lee · 2023

When teenage chef Dylan Tang enters Brooklyn’s bustling food scene, he’s juggling school, delivery runs for his aunt’s struggling Chinese takeout, and a heartfelt mission: winning a Mid‑Autumn Festival mooncake competition in memory of his mother. The prize could bring the publicity his family’s business desperately needs. Enter Theo Somers, a charismatic, ultra‑wealthy customer whose smile makes Dylan’s stomach flip. Theo convinces Dylan to be his "fake" date at a lavish Hamptons wedding, thrusting the teen into a world of glittering privilege and crazy‑rich drama. What starts as a convenient ruse quickly turns into genuine feelings, even as Theo’s demanding relatives surface and the mooncake contest looms. Dylan must decide whether to protect his family’s future, follow his heart, or try to do both in this sweet, heartfelt rom‑com that blends culinary ambition with unexpected love.
