Loved the setting and representation, I just don’t think I am a fan of romances written in the third person. It was cute but I felt names were way overused in dialogue - not very organic to say someone’s name 10 times while on the phone with them

Really dragged towards the end. I feel like that is somewhat of a trend for this genre

This was really good! Cute and sweet but also dealing with some heavier topics. It was a treat to read a romance book with a non-binary main character, especially one written by a non-binary author! It gets a star taken off for the third act breakup though, it was such a bummer.
Premise, perfect. Steamier than I typically like but I actually appreciated the non-binary perspective in these situations. It was new to me and felt authentic. The relationships were really well done with all characters, the characters all felt authentic, and I did like the whole plot (was a little worried about what the conflict would be but it was not disappointing). The only thing I would change would be the dynamics and character interaction with the cooking show.
