A good queer love story. I would have loved a little more slow build up before jumping in fully with the love and sex, but all in all a feel good book that hits the right notes and provides a positive representation of queer love in one of its many forms.

I wanted to love this book but I never fully got into it.
It didn't quite feel foodie enough for a MasterChef style reality show romance and I didn't find the behind the scenes aspects believable. There is no way they'd just keep their personal mobiles/access to their social media.

They definitely wouldn't just be sent home straight after being kicked off while the show is airing in such a way that they could easily be photographed etc.

I liked Delilah and London fine. I haven't read many books with NB protagonists/perspectives, especially not outside of YA. London is a functioning adult that doesn't question their identity. This will mean a lot to a lot of people.

I just wanted to get more of the competition based drama, more actual descriptions of cooking and foods, head to heads and heads and elimination challenges.

It really bugged me when their team was up for elimination but then there is just a skip of a number of days with no tension.

Die Pronomen von London und alles im Bezug zu trans Themen ist sehr schön gelöst. Es hat sich auch gut schnell lesen lassen, aber die Geschichte war mir an vielen Stellen zu flach und nicht spannend und die Menge an Sex Szenen waren mir definitiv zu viel.
