A romance novel that takes place on the set of a cooking competition? And it’s queer?! Sign me up!
There was so much to love in this book from the characters being vibrant and fleshed out, the building up of the romance, the drama on set! Not to mention the really important discussions of non-binary representation, navigating your life after it throws you a curve ball, and finding the strength to stand on your own.
This book gave me the warm fuzzies and it’s not often that I get those warm fuzzies. Especially rare that I get them from a romance novel. Also the sex scenes were wonderful and the perfect blend of spice and sweetness. I can’t hype the fact that there was communication during those moments and how refreshing it was to see that.
