I almost didn't finish this one, it was so different from what i expected from the synopsis. It was so hard to like one of the characters because she was just so immature and insecure and kept making decisions for others constantly and it always felt like she brought nothing to the relationship but constant struggle. Plus it felt like she fell in love with the chef by watching her show and not by knowing her. Their relationship was also just a mess of professional and personal where they didn't talk properly about any of it. Very frustrating read.
