Chef’s Kiss is the perfect fall romance read on a stormy fall day! This was just so cute and it really captures the feeling of existential dread of that “now that I’m done with college/university, what do I do??” that I think most of us have felt at one point or another. This graphic novel combines that with finding a new path in an unexpected place with a healthy sprinkling of romance thrown in for good measure. It was just the cutest and I loved that it really highlighted the different aspects of working in a commercial kitchen. It was really fun to see Ben learning new things and adding his own touch to the recipes. Anyway, this is getting five stars! And if you haven’t read it yet, you really should!
