A romance novel set against the backdrop of a cooking competition show, a queer leading lady and a pansexual nonbinary love interest. I was like - say less, I'm down, and I'm so glad I did.
This was just so damn good. The chemistry between these two was almost too much for me most of the time. They were incredibly steamy together - way steamier than I expected the book to get, but it wasn't unwelcome at all. It had me WIDE EYED a lot of the time in that regard. I also just thought that these two characters, as people, felt really real. They were extremely imperfect and stumbled a ton, but in the end, they were perfect together and I just loved them.
I had little issues here and there, but they were just that: little. Like, they were such non-issues that I never once considered giving this any less than 5 stars. I have nothing intelligent to say about this, just vibes. The best vibes in the *world.*
Graphic: Homophobia, Sexual content, Transphobia, and Alcohol
Moderate: Bullying and Classism
Minor: Animal cruelty and Excrement
There's quite a bit of misgendering / misgendering mention but that's not available as an option for me to tag so I'm putting it here.
