The Romance Recipe by Ruby Barrett
3.0
3.5 ⭐️ rounded
This was one of my most anticipated reads for the year and it was alright. I didn’t find it to be remarkable but it was a nice book to read. I didn’t find the character’s chemistry to be much more than very lust-forward for a story where Amy and Sophie already knew each other (Half points for Canadian FMC, though). I feel like we missed out on a meet-cute and tension through pining, but I loved their individual stories with self-discovery/sexuality and familial relationships.
But also … some of the best smut I’ve read.
