i'll have what he's having follows farzan and david.  farzan isn't sure what he's going to do with his life. after numerous professions and even more boyfriends, he's constantly feeling like the fuck-up of the family. david is fully consumed by work and his future. when he's not working, he's studying to become a master sommelier so that he's able to leave kansas city behind and provide for himself and his parents. 

after getting dumped before things can even become official, farzan desperately needs two things: wine and fries -- so he heads to the new wine bar aspire, where david is the wine director. their paths cross when david mistakes farzan for an esteemed food critic and their chemistry is immediate and undeniable. this mistaken identity leads to a one night stand --> friends with benefits --> lovers

read this if you love:
-my big fat greek wedding
-foodie talk, and descriptions that will make you hungry
-wine and all of its intricacies (or if you want to pretend you understand them -- like me)
-queer community and friendships
-video game soundtracks
-adult intramural leagues 

overall this was a cute middle-of-the-road romance story. i loved the food descriptions and all of the wine talk, even though i know nothing about wine. i loved david and farzan's separate communities they had, even when david felt like he had no one there was always someone looking out for him. there was some cheesy dialogue that wasn't my favorite, but i loved how david and farzan could be silly and goofy with each other from the very beginning. i was definitely rooting for them as a couple and as individuals, and i was excited to see how everything played out. 

this is my first book from adib khorram, and i'm definitely interested in checking out his YA novels!
