A Dash of Salt and Pepper by Kosoko Jackson
1.0

Read 100 pages and decided it wasn't my thing. Life is too short for books I'm not loving.

Xavier has a lot of internal dialog that feels kind of forced. Sure, we all have thoughts about capitalism, but it feels like the character is internally trying to prove to the reader that he's on the right side of issues like racism and economic issues and feminism, and it's not necessary and kind of knocks me out of the flow of the story.

Also Logan is kind of a jackass. I mean I get that rude chefs is a trope, but ugh. Did not like him.
