emotional funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

A little messy, a little mysterious, and as much a foodie rom-com as it is a bookish one. It didn't end up working for me but I knew going in that it featured a love triangle — one of my least favorite tropes — so I'm not going to rate it low for doing what it said it would do. In addition to the foodie and bookish vibes, you'll find Black D.C. community, a hilarious girl and granny group, and very frank and steamy conversations and depictions of sex.
