Well written and definitely a fun, slow burn. It tackles some serious topics and struggles that ring true. I related pretty hard to some of these things from when I was in my 20s. The food descriptions are a lot of fun.

I was excited to read The Slowest Burn by Sarah Chamberlain when I saw the cover and read the description. The cover is beautiful! This book is definitely a slow burn. There is a lot to unpack with this one, so many different dynamics happening. Ellie, the FMC... wow. I did not like her at first, she was not nice, she was taking out her grief on everyone else. Kieran also wasn't great at first. I plugged along and the middle of the book I really enjoyed. The forced proximity trope worked well in this book. However, once they were back in the city and back to their regular lives I started to get bored. The slow burn continued until the end. If you can get past all the different dynamics there are definitely some cute parts of this book.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC of The Slowest Burn for an honest review.
