I absolutely loved this book. It felt so relatable because Dahlia is experiencing her divorce after deciding that she's not happy in her current role. It is very fitting. I loved how London was trying to be the best version of themselves, and they were worried about the people on the set when really, they had people in their corner. I think this was extra special because it gave a similar vibe to GBBO the TV Show, so you got that cozy competition vibe. I liked watching them slowly build and seeing their friends throughout. I can't wait to read the next book.

A sexy and delicious romcom in novel form!! LGBTQ+ MCs contend with love, performance anxiety, and supportive and unsupportive secondary characters as they make their way through filming season 8 of a cooking show, vying for $100,000 and finding the answers to what it will take for them to chase their dreams, even if it means new beginnings.

Fun, a nice palette cleanser. But there’s a weird foot thing about 50% of the way through the book that threw me off

This book was okay. I liked the premise (cooking show, queerness), but I just really didn’t like the characters or how they behaved.
