very easy to read, plot was clinically idiotic, mostly just felt like this author was writing fanfic of a couple she created but didn't develop well at all.

if i could give infinite stars i would oh my god i love this book with everything in me

Amazing!!!

A solid 4 and a 1/2 stars. This was such a pleasant surprise - I didn’t really have any expectations for this book. I’m a simple girl, I hear the MMC is a chef, I come running. The plot was deep, the characters were developed, and the romance was sweet/sexy.

I made a concerted effort to finish the book so that I can be an informed hater.

I am so confused by this book because the book ITSELF seemed confused about what it was trying to do. A fun, lighthearted book about restaurant life? A serious book that addresses IPV? An all smut, no plot book that's just all sex scenes? Oh wait, maybe it's about kink exploration? No, hold on... I think it might be kind of a love story, but in a dark romance kind of way. Wait, now it's about family trauma. What was that bit about classism?

It's doing way too much for a romance, and has some bad tone deafness as a side effect.

I am absolutely obsessed with this book, this was great, 10/10 would definitely recommend! Spicy, sentimental, dramatic and sweet! Loved it

Yeah… didn’t like this one as much as I hoped I would :/

DID NOT FINISH: 14%

I think the breaking point for me was when Ozzy, who had barely known Jamie for two weeks, asked her to stick a Snickers up her coochie so he could “taste her”.
