The Romance Recipe by Ruby Barrett
2.0
-i haven't read a book to finish in a while that i only gave 2 stars to, and if goodreads had 2.5 i would probably just do that but they don't so here we are
-i had several issues with this book - first, the fairly predictable plotline (even for a romance novel, which is saying a lot lol), the kind of tropey characters, and the lack of character development. the last 50 pages all mushed together and i just didn't buy that amy would change a lifetime of issues so quickly
-amy was so problematic and if she had been a man in a romance novel he would be like borderline abusive
-also weird choice to NOT include the characters meeting? like esp if they immediately had chemistry!!!!
