It was pretty good, part of me wanted a little more of the competition and more relationship building between our two characters. By the time they weee declaring love I didn’t really have a grasp on what they loved about each other

Adorable and quirky. Listened as an audiobook so genuinely couldn’t tell if it was well written bc my brain was filling in gaps. I enjoyed the story of finding love on a cooking show. Highlyyyyy recommended by Bethany.
Oh, dang, this book has fallen out of my brain since July. I remember that I was really charmed by it upon finishing, but it hasn't really stuck with me. I'm sure if I picked it up again, the reasons why I liked it so much would come back to me, but it does justify for me not giving this five stars on the first go-round, because a five-star read really should be "sticky".
Our two main characters in this here romance are Delia, newly divorced, and London, who are both contestants on a cooking show. I don't remember anymore what there "things" are, besides that Delia biffs it spectacularly on her first day of shooting, dropping her impeccably prepared tacos all over the floor. So that was pretty memorable. Also, I do remember it being super cute that London was always distracted by Delia because their work station was right behind hers, and they keeps staring at her because of her hair and her clothes and whatever else they are looking at that day.
Oh, and there was also a subplot in here about a dickweasel on the show who was being a bigoted jerk about London being nonbinary, and they have to deal with the producers of the show playing up that conflict for publicity. Hmm, and I seem to recall that London was very sweet and somewhat quiet, but Delia was a bit of a mess.
Anyway, I remember that I had a good time with it, so in that respect I recommend it highly!

I’m sure that in the end this book is great, but I got bored. I like books with challenges or tournaments, but here everything concerning the competition was skipped, even if it was the main setting of the book. I didn’t connect with the main characters.
