Love from Scratch is the story of Reese and Benny, dueling interns on a popular cooking show. Reese and Benny are equally determined to land the fall internship. When Reese and Benny are unexpectedly required to perform on the show, sparks fly. Fans of the show love their chemistry and begin to request more of them. The fans speculate wildly on whether there is romance between them and online bullying becomes an issue. Reese must decide whether she truly wants a romance and figure out how she will deal with the bullies.
This was a sweet and straightforward romance. I enjoyed that Reese is very aware of the sexism and double standards that she faces. She does a great job explaining it to Benny and ultimately reaching out to get help from her coworkers. Benny and Reese have an adorable romance, with lots of banter and longing looks. This was a light-hearted and enjoyable read. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys cooking shows, forced proximity, and a healthy dose of competition.
