I’m Veronica, an Asian American book blogger who recently fell into writing. I’m in a mentorship program and working on my #FakeDatingFoodiesWIP featuring rival restaurant kids, complicated immigrant-parent-child relationships and a chaotic found family, and I’m always down for a writing challenge!
