I loved this. I read the third book in the “series” first but it didn’t really impact my reading of this one. I loved the personalities and realities of being a broke divorcee in your mid twenties.

I haven't read I don't think any modern romance. But this was a book bought for me and it was thoroughly enjoyable with a well written duo at its heart. Span through it in two days.

This was cute and I loved the cooking show setting. The characters were great together, and the queer and nonbinary representation was amazing.
My one thing missing was the development of getting to know each other. But I would still recommend as an easy-read romance.

This book is absolutely a new favourite of mine. It was so adorable and heartwarming, I loved it so much
Although this romance did involve a bit of miscommunication, (which I am generally not a very big fan of), I think this book handled it very well. It was very limited and dealt with in a proper manner which I really appreciated. Also, there was an epilogue, which is my all time favourite things in a romance. I want to know what happens to the characters after their story is over, and this one was super cute. Definitely worth the read.
I also want to bring up how much I appreciated how this story dealt with the trans main character and how the on page transphobia was very limited. There wasn't a single moment where I felt uncomfortable reading about London's experiences, which is something that tends to happen for me when it comes to explicit on page transphobia. I appreciated how when the character was misgendered or somebody said something about them, it was never written out, we only know that this has happened. For instance, when London is misgendered, instead of putting the pronouns the person misgendering them used to describe them, the author stuck with using their proper pronouns and instead chose only to say that this person had said something other than "they,"
The romance was everything to me. I love slow burn and this definitely felt like that, but it also went by so quickly i couldn't even tell. I need to bring up how Dahlia approached London's feelings throughout the relationship in relation to their gender. I genuinely loved how well it was handled and how she went about to make sure that London was comfortable in any situation they were in. I also really liked that they talked about the issues they faced dating as a trans person, because it can be really difficult sometimes, especially when you identify outside of the binary.
Of course, I have to bring up the cooking, seeing as that is the main plot (other than the romance). I know absolutely nothing about cooking, In fact I'm terrible at it. But, i used to watch shows like the one this book is set in and the whole environment and setting to this story was really entertaining. I loved reading about the experience from both characters perspectives and seeing how much cooking had impacted their lives and how it has comforted each of them in different ways.
Truly, this book is going to be a new comfort read for me and I cannot wait to get a hold of a physical copy so that I can read it again.
