Hearty: On Cooking, Eating, and Growing Food for Pleasure and Subsistence by andrea bennett

Probably better as a physical book so you don’t have to hear the narrator spell out a ton of website URLs towards the end and so the recipes are quicker to read.

It’s exactly what you expect haha. The spice delivered in my opinion. The MC was just repetitive at times. The narrator was ok, at times I thought she was great but others I thought there was no believable emotion in her voice.

It was ok. Maybe my opinion would be different if I didn’t listen to the audiobook. I felt like everything happened quickly, the characters were on and off and on and off again. Like the small town setting but it definitely could’ve been more descriptive. I never really felt “there”. Steam was ok as well. Spicy scenes were quick.

I mean, it was fine. Just too long. Narrator was great. Too many characters who didn’t matter. Skipped sections at the end just to know who the killer was.
