stateofiction's review against another edition
2.0
not my first pride book of pride month being a dud.....
let's start with the good:
- I actually really liked the writing for the most part. it was clean, funny, and (mostly) polished
- oh you thought there was going to be more?
the bad:
- were there actually two characters here? because they certainly felt the same! they had the same personality, the same goals, the same way of speaking, the same way of thinking, and I literally never knew who I was reading from.
my personal preference violated:
- they both had pre-established crushes on each other before the book even started. where was the tension? why am I supposed to care at this point?
- they started hooking up less than 100 pages into the story. again, where is the tension?

A fun open door bisexual-lesbian experience. I found a lot of myself in here and I love that.

The Romance Recipe is centered a lot around miscommunication. It is a nice read but it lacks substance for me. I found myself drifting of while listening as some parts were to predictable and therefor I lost interest for sometime.

honestly would’ve been 3.5 if not for the writing of the intimate scenes. not everything is for me.

This book was an interesting trip. The characters were a smidge hard to like, but they still had me crossing my fingers and hoping everything turned out alright for them.
