⚠️ Spoilers ahead ⚠️
This book has:
📚Saphic workplace romance
📚"Can't get my hands out of you"
📚Coming out later in life
📚Family feelings
📚Character development
📚Miscommunication
📚"Yes, chef" vibes
📚Third act break up
Also featuring vegan poutine
It wasn't for me. I'm not a big fun of miscommunication in characters over 20 and/or contemporary settings, so, that inmediately takes away from my enjoyment of a book. Also, I thought this was going to be more fluffy and have more of the tv show, restaurant issues side (both interesting for me). But that's my fault, I didn't read the reviews first 😑 Also, the audiobook made it a bit confusing because both narrators have similar voices.
Having said that I do know a lot of people who'll probably enjoy it, so I do recommend it. There's interesting character development and a lot of real life issues depicted well on this story. Also, for spice lovers (wlw version) , this is going to be a hit.
