I enjoyed the cooking show aspect and really liked the way the characters developed. I didn’t prefer the spicy scenes in this—just a little too kinky for my tastes. But I thought the relationship was cute and story was fun!

This was a fun and spicy queer read and I loved all the representation in this! This was the first romance novel I read with a non-binary MC! It was challenging to differentiate the voices of the MCs via audiobook.

This was fast paced and entertaining book! I enjoyed the reality tv trope, and found it witty and enjoyable. I like Dahlia and London as characters, and saw their lovable sides early on. The “Uhaul” queer trope definitely fits for Dahlia and London. I appreciated the more passionate spicy scenes, along with the intimate and endearing ones. That was so refreshing. 

Be aware that there are multiple instances of transphobia directed at London by another competitor and their dad, who doesn't accept them coming out. While I know this is the reality for many queer and trans folks, I would have enjoyed the novel more without the discrimination plots.

As an ace person, reading romance novels can be weird because it's hard to identify with or understand different experiences and feelings.
like when someone turns you on so much you want to lick the scar on their hand or having any desire to have someone's toes in your mouth.
So naturally there were some parts of this story that felt so unnatural to me though I imagine others would find them equally natural. 

I do like the story though. And I appreciate that both the characters had their own insecurities to work through, goals to discover and work towards, and relationship challenges both inside and outside the romantic relationship to overcome. I did feel like the some aspects were too rushed. But overall it was good
