Aftertaste is a book with a very strong premise that I ultimately very strongly disliked. :( I love food and I love ghosts, but the characters fell flat for me and the magic system/world building was confusing and kind of cheesy. If I had to read one more food idiom like “spill the chai” in a book that’s supposed to be serious? Idk this just was not for me even though on paper it should have been!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC.
