Absolutely loved the queer representation amongst the backdrop of food and travel! However, there were some overused tropes and this story would've been so much stronger without it. And while some of the side characters were interesting, I felt the story was diluted by the amount of them. Because they each got too little time, I couldn't connect with them fully.

But this is such a fun adventure and we need more of these romance stories!
