This is exactly the fun, food-filled read that you'd expect based on the cover, with the added bonus that it tackles racism and sexism in a male-dominated workplace. I greatly admire Park's skill at incorporating real issues into these lighter stories, just as she did in Sunny Song Will Never Be Famous. I agree with other reviewers who say this is structured more like a women's fiction novel than a romance. Most of the focus is on Jess finding her calling and connecting with her mother and becoming an entrepreneur, and the romance aspects complement the plot rather than dominating it. It was refreshing to see so much growth from Jess and a realistic look into the hard work of starting a business!

Honestly, my biggest issue with this one is that the book description spoils the entire plot of the book. Not the author's fault at all, but I couldn't believe it when I was 85% of the way through at one of the events mentioned in the description still hadn't happened yet. So I do recommend avoiding the description if possible before picking it up!
