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.

This was okay, I liked the main character and the love interest but a lot of the ensemble cast weren’t my thing. There was too much political talk for what I thought was a lighthearted chef romance. My favourite part was the Jewish representation.
