“Food is more important than love.”
“Food is love.”
After reading back-to-back murder mysteries, I needed something happy. And what’s happier than YA romance with food that takes place in Paris?
I have so much respect for the author narrating the book but the same rules apply: multiple POVs need multiple narrators.
I love reading the cooking and food descriptions. Absolutely beautiful. And the France adventure? I’m jealous. Henry and Rosie were cute but everything with them was very surface-level. I can get behind an insta-love attraction but they didn’t seem to build anything from that point. It didn’t help that I started liking Bodie more. Henry got really annoying once he started seeing Rosie (unknowingly and platonically) hanging out with Bodie. Like, dude, JUST TALK AND ASK HER IF YOU’RE SO WORRIED.
