Chef's Kiss by TJ Alexander

4.0

i enjoyed this one. i did find the fmc, simone, a little unbearable at times - the story being single pov also made it to where we were only in her perspective the entire book which i didn't like as much. i would have loved to had ray's perspective at least once during the story.

this one is definitely a slooooooow burn, literally up to the last two chapters and then its BOOM. i loved seeing the caretaking of ray by simone after their top surgery - made my heart warm. i am glad what i thought would be a conflict ended up not being it (because it would have kinda been cliché and made my rating lower). i did really like the YouTube cooking video aspect!! also the little old french lady simone looks up to (can't remember her name lol) - LOVED HER SO MUCH!!
