4.0

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

4.0

reading a romance novel with a main character who has (almost) the same name as me is a dangerous game, but this book was so good that i think it actually improved my reading experience (<- cringe admission)
aside from a few small things (ex. a paragraph where london describes dahlia much in the same way a straight male mc in a movie would describe his MPDG love interest) i have almost no complaints. i loved reading about them swoon over each other and will def be recommending this!!

I had a good time reading this book! It’s the first time I’ve read a book with a nb mc and that was really special. 
I liked the premise of a cooking show but towards the end that plot line kinda just fell away to the background. I wish there was more focus on the show and the food. 
The writing was really easy to follow and sucked me into the world. 
Reading about queer love was beautiful and definitely overall enjoyed this book.
