I loved the little Easter eggs for Sadie on a Plate, but this book definitely stands on its own. As an "influencer" myself, I really enjoyed seeing Julie's process for her food blog and various platforms as well as the debates with Bennett over the value of it. Also the FOOD - I was drooling the entire time. Like yes please let's go to tapas. They have such a fabulous rivals to lovers story, though I wish we got to see some of the steam, with the classic 3rd act break-up. I also enjoyed Emerson Leigh, Alice, and Kelsey throughout. Any one of them could get a book of their own and I'd happily read it.

*Thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review*
