There were some great things about this book. I really enjoyed the food competition element, and following our lead character as she finds herself and works hard for what she wants.
This book had the potential to be fantastic, but personally it fell short for me in a few areas.
Firstly, I've seen this marketed as a romance, but I wouldn't call it that. The romance in this just didn't interest me.
Secondly, and most importantly for me. I found the dialogue to be very stilted at times and didn't really flow the way I'd expect actual conversations to flow.
I also found some issues with the pacing.
Having said all of that, I did find this to be an overall cosy, enjoyable read.
