I enjoyed Sadie on a Plate, and was therefore excited for Best Served Hot. It didn't live up to those expectations. It was... fine. I didn't particularly like it, but I didn't particularly dislike it, hence the 2.5 stars. I greatly enjoy the enemies to friends to lovers trope, but I don't think Elliot pulled it off particularly well, and several of the characters (and situations) were "too real", as I found myself getting frustrated or angry on behalf of the characters. Which is opposite of what I'm looking for when reading before bed. All in all, it was fine; I probably would have like it more had it not been from an author I've enjoyed, as it was missing some of the magic that made Sadie on a Plate sparkle.
