I love that goodreads has listed the tropes in this spring romance:Tropes:

• one bed
A Romeo and Juliet type of romance, with love, food, and families.
Julie Wu and Randall Hur used to be best friends. Now they only see each other on Saturdays at the Pasadena Farmers Market where their once close families are long-standing rivals.
