As my friend Sarah kindly said after I ranted to her about how upsetting this book was, “I am glad there are diverse books out there for other perspectives but this one was not for me.”

“Not for me” was an understatement with this one. I wanted to DNF after about an hour of listening to the audiobook and I really should’ve.

So far this year I have read 46 books and this is the worst one, which is disappointing because I really WANTED to like a BIPOC, food based cozy mystery. What could be better?? It turns out, the answer is literally anything else.
