Unputdownable! I finished this in one day. So good, so relevant and unique. The end got a bit absurd, hence the less than 5⭐ rating but I still loved this.

I did this as an audio book, I think I would have enjoyed it more in physical form. The recipes sounded SOOOO good.

Also weird that this is a man writing from women POV. Hate when they do that.

WOW this was terrible. So boring, barely any plot, and the worst characters you can think of. I cannot stand the drama of rich privileged people. It's all so petty.

FINALLY! this took me so long to read. I wasn't really vibing with this at first. Felt so messy and not in the good way. However, like all the CC books, it came together in the end.
