This book was cute. Really, really cute.
We follow Ben, a recent English college graduate, as he tries to get a job with no job experience. Yep, hell itself, basically. He has some really supportive friends and a highly pressuring family, and he thinks he wants to work in something related to writing or reading. But the only job he gets is in a really peculiar restaurant where every new dish is tasted and approver by an endearing pib named Watson.
Also, Ben is gay and quickly develops a crush on his coworker Liam, and is adorable.
The only thing that I didn't really like was how descriptive it was of all the food and the cooking. I mean, I know it's important for the character, but as a reader I don't like finding so much descriptive text in a graphic novel.
But I really liked the story and characters anyway.
