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

As a nonbinary person, it was fantastic to see a nonbinary main character that is realistic- especially in a romance novel no less! And a nonbinary character that isn't focused on a tragic backstop. Yeah, not everyone is good with the transness but it's not an overshadowing thing. It's all very much how things go in reality.
Both main characters were loveable. In and out of their perspectives. A cooking show as the story stage adds fun drama. The cooking show naturally moves the story along while the characters also do. The fade to black spicy scenes is also appreciated.
I'd recommend this book to my friends who like romance novels and suggest it as a nice in for anyone who feels meh about the genre.
