It took me almost half the book to get invested in the romance, but I was flying through the pages by the end.
I picked this up for the enby rep, but ended up liking Dahlia’s storyline more. If you ask me, she was the better written character out of the two.
That’s not to say I disliked London, I just couldn’t quite grasp what their personality was supposed to be like. Their characterization felt inconsistent to me.
The cooking show setting was fun & definitely my favourite part of the book. #TeamDahlia

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.*

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.kayladaila's review
