a really sweet book to read! reminded me of Sweetbitter, which is one of my fav novels. looks at the same side of the restaurant business but has a happier/ sweeter ending. the book was translated beautifully, there were no sentences that didn’t make sense. overall a very lovely and quick read. makes me want to fall in love with a chef ❤️‍🩹
