A review by thatsme_lauravz
The Romance Recipe by Ruby Barrett
3.0
*I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
This was a really sweet Queer romcom, and I really enjoyed it. Amy is a (somewhat uptight) restaurant manager/owner and Sophie is her head chef who is recovering from a stint on reality TV. It's the classic "we are attracted to each other but we work together/we're too different/external factors are getting in the way" situation, and ultimately it ends up being a quick, satisfying read with a good amount of steam. The topic of Sophie's late-blooming bisexuality was handled with so much nuance and compassion.
I did find the writing a little chaotic at times, but considering the setting (a professional kitchen) that kind of worked! 3/5 stars
