This was a quick, fun read! The characters were funny and I loved the cooking scenes. 

I understand that things are limited with how short this is, but I definitely would have liked to see more mutual pining and more depth in Liam; his main traits just seemed to be that he's attractive and nice. I wasn't given any reason to be super invested in their relationship. 
I also thought the text was a bit cramped, but that's likely due in part to the fact that I read this on a phone screen lol 

Overall, it was still very cute, but I wouldn't reread and was just a little disappointed by the end. 

This graphic novel is cute yet entertaining. What I love about this book is... this book can give motivation to someone who just finished college to don't give up if you have a dream to know what's worth to begin with yourself; looking for job that suitable to your own passion to make you happy.

the pig timer in the bonus materials. no joke that bumped up my review a whole quarter star.
but overall it was fine, a short fluffy read, nothing really groundbreaking. a lot of the story felt like an RPG, like maybe a city-set Stardew Valley, which i enjoyed. the inclusion of a Shaggy-like stoner-with-the-munchies roommate was interesting (that's all i have to say about him). i think that after reading One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, my standards for city-living romances with roommate side characters have gone way up, and i know not every story that falls into this category will make as much use of its roommate characters, but i still know what's out there. the romance aspect didn't have very much payoff but i didn't really mind. also, can i just say, i am tired of reading queer romances about skinny/ripped white men.
cover review: ★★★★½. it's cute, especially the bag of vegetables. i get that the books in one hand and ingredients in the other represent his internal conflict, but like, eh. Watson (the pig) is adorable, i love the arrow, which is glossy on the physical edition 👌. the font for the title is not my favorite, like the grainy texture, the color, the unusual "K"; and i'm not sure about the choice of background color.

A short but thoroughly enjoyable graphic novel about one young man looking for his path after college & maybe even a little romance too. The chef was hilarious & I loved his silly little pig, Winston. The only reason I gave this a 4 and not a 5 is because the love interest's name is Liam and my kid's name is Liam so it kinda squicked me out even though there's nothing sexually explicit in this graphic novel. The romance is very charming though & I liked the art a lot, specifically the coloring. 

SO!!!! ADORABLE!!!!! I wanted more honestly, this felt too short.

And I stan Watson 🥺💖🐷

This was really cute!!! I really enjoyed it and I was kinda worried cause someone Id heard talk about it thought it was too short and I believe disliked it because of that which I definitely understand and tho I do kinda wish we got more of the romantic subplot at the end I really enjoyed it and it was just adorableee

This story is SO adorable and romantic, and I love cooking as a backdrop. The conflicts with friends and family were also so realistic, and the struggles of having to choose a profession under capitalism at such a young age. The recipes and mini character bios in the back are a cute touch!
