A review by artsymusings
Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala
3.0
'I loved natural remedies, dark color palettes, and made bewitchingly delicious baked goods, so I’d learned to lean into the bruha image. Everyone needed a personal brand.'
Okay so I love the amount of food that is in this and the two potential love interests, but how it didn't focus on romance pretty much at all. Could've been better overall, though. The murder mystery aspect left me a little underwhelmed since it went from being fun to kinda depressive throughout pretty quickly. Looking forward to reading the second book, though as well as foody adventures of Lila and her lesbian Muslim best friend, Adeena eeee
----------------------------------
10/10 would read this just because of that cover alone
