Rating varied from 3-3.5 stars so I settled on 3.25 for StoryGraph. The FMC caused me way too much secondhand embarrassment from her lack of critical thinking where I had to put the book down to take time away or I was risking DNF-ing. The food descriptions were phenomenal and the ending was the best outcome for everyone.

I feel like this book is misclassified. It is more women's fiction than the romance it's being touted as. The romance is very secondary to the growth needed by Sadie throughout the story. I think the book was well written, but at times it felt as though I was reading the scripts from episodes of Top Chef.
