Ohh... this book.
Look, I started reading it because it was my 'Graphic Novel Reading Time'. I started something this year which is reading a graphic novel and then a book (just letters book), and then again a graphic novel, and so on.
The other reason why I read it was because the cover was cute, the premise sounded good, it was supposed to be 'romance' (spoiler, it was not), and I found him at the Goodreads Nominees.
The book was boring, it even has a part where they explain a whole yoga session. It has nothing to do with romance, yes, he has a love interest and the relationship pulls out ok, but we know nothing about this other guy.
My other and last problem was how he was treated at his job, it was bad, and for me doesn't matter the stupid background/justification the chef has for being a shit. About the pig, it was cute but weird (and not in the best way).
This one is not a good book in my opinion and, I'm never forgiving the fact that I just got reader's block because of a GRAPHIC NOVEL.
If you are going to read it, have in mind that this is not romance, it's about friendship (kind of) a guy finding out what he wants to do, what he likes, and questioning his career choices.
