This is like dark academia with food.
Honestly the food metaphors are incredible, the subtlety of the food reflecting the story arc is really cool. I loved Roberta, I loved her journey. I loved the imagery and I loved analysing this book.
I wish we knew what she chose, but I think it’s fairly clear that she chooses Adnan. I also think Stevie is a total controlling bitch, but she has her moments.
I like the themes of nonconformity, of trying to be yourself. Overall this is a really easy read, and a really interesting one.
