I. Loved. This. Book. SO MUCH!! It was quite explicit, so if that isn't your thing definitely move along. No fade to black scenes here, which I was a bit surprised by. BUT!! A nonbinary person falling in love with a beautiful, complicated woman on a COOKING SHOW?! It was written for me! The characters are hilarious, loveable, and flawed. The setting is, obviously, perfect - I'll never watch cooking shows the same way again, and I watch a lot of cooking shows! The sexy scenes were tender, consentual, and fantastic. The themes of transphobia were delicately addressed, but not constantly centered or overly violent. An absolutely incredible book for sure!!
