it was a book alright, that’s all i can tell ya. did i like it? i don’t know. did i hate it? i also don’t know. it was just okay. i know what it was trying to do but it was just very surface level. i don’t have much to say honestly. i liked the chapters of the other character’s perspectives though, that was creative at least. those were probably the highlight of this book. apart from that, yeah it was a book :)

i didn’t think i was going to like this book as much as i did, but it was so amazing. i related to the main character so much it was almost hard to read. the idea of supper club and the recipes, it was just so perfect.
