There’s something about this book that was unlike anything I’d ever read, and that’s saying something.
📕 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: On the Line by Naomi Loud
📙 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Standalone
📗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: E-book on Kindle. 🆓 on KU.
📘 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲: Contemporary romance
📔 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: Dark romance aesthetic, opposites attract, all of the tension, yes chef, Jeremy Allen White coded (the Bear AND Shameless), found family.
📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: James changes her major to her passion of painting, and her rich family disowns her. Stuck with no money, she learns the ropes at Oreo, a fine dining restaurant with a line cook whose turquoise eyes always find hers.
🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: I almost have no choice but to rate this a five.
It had a unique storyline, unforgettable characters, spice that was unlike anything I’ve seen on page, and my absolute favorite - chef vibes.
Ozzy had all of the Lip and Carmy goodness, but even if you’ve never seen those shows you’d still fall in love with him - especially his inner monologue while falling for James.
And James is the kind of girl you’re rooting for from the start.
The found family aspect of this is strong, but the dark aspects are especially profound. Please read trigger warnings. But once you do, and once you motor through this book, drop in my DMs so we can gush about how perfect it was.
My only issue? I need an extended epilogue. And wanting more is a good problem to have.
𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
