Just One Taste by Lizzy Dent

emotional reflective slow-paced

3.0

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for the ARC! All opinions are my own. 

I really like the premise of Just One Taste because who doesn’t like a book based mostly on Italy and is about finishing an Italian cookbook?? The food descriptions through out the book were so detailed and sometimes I could really picture what they were eating/making. There is the theme of grief due to parent death (off page) and I think it did go through a lot of the stages of grief throughout the story and handled it well. 

As for the main characters, their relationship was a real slow burn, but then it went on so fast. A little too fast in my opinion, almost rushed at the end. I don’t mind a slow burn, in fact I love them, but the aftermath of the slow burn has to be worth it. 

I generally liked the story and you might too if you’re looking for a quick vacation read!
