This Feast of a Life by Cynthia So
4.5
emotional inspiring medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was such a beautiful story about finding yourself and finding someone else to do it with!
Auden’s journey of finding what works for them after coming out as non-binary and Valerie’s journey through grief after her mom’s death, worked through with a love of food! And all the food sounded incredible ✨

Another thing I loved was the sub plot of Auden discovering the terminology and understanding being demisexual was just perfectly described and explained, it was such a lovely journey to watch unfold throughout the book.
