This book was very sweet but a very slow read. The character growth was great. 

This book challenged me in so many different ways. The characters were well done and the story waved together beautifully. I enjoyed the themes and the plots but had trouble with some parts of the story. 

A quick enemies to lovers, get it out of their system but they caught those pesky feelings instead. 

This is marketed as a romance and while yes, it had romance aspects, I felt the relationship between the two main characters was very forced. We never saw Sammy’s POV, so he felt a little flat to me. Manny, while I enjoyed the plot line of her reconnecting with a part of herself she never had an opportunity to connect with, I did not get her “falling for” Sammy. They spent very little time together on page, and she spent most of her time interacting with other people who were telling her to get with Sammy. It just was hard for me as a reader to see why she developed feelings for him when they barely interacted on page. 
As a romance, this book felt very flat to me. 

This book was so sweet and I loved it and want to hold the characters so close. Simone is the type A pastry chef who is happy in her own world but gets everything turned upside down when she meets Ray, the new kitchen manager. Their relationship is so cute and I loved it so much. 

Listening to Stanley Tucci talk about food for six hours is delightful. This book had me laughing so many times and now I am off to eat pasta, so much pasta. 

This book was so good! A story of three long term friends that start having trouble after a new woman joins their friend group. The story explores so many topics but does not feel overstretched and the ending was so good! Highly recommend! 

Loved, loved seeing so much of Illium and Aodhan’s story. The story did a great job of bringing us back into this fantastic world the author has created. Simply. A wonderful book.

I enjoyed the premise of this book and the story was interesting. I felt the characters were very much alive and the story was woven together very well. 

A fitting end to a lovey, smutty trilogy.
