I love that the non-binary character is one of the main love interests and not just a minor side character. Fun setting for a romance novel!

This was pleasant, but the central relationship between London & Dahlia felt a bit superficial. Heads up to anyone looking for an escapist read that misgendering/transphobia aimed at the nonbinary main character (London) is a major plot point.

I do also feel a bit bamboozled by the series being called "Nashville Love" but the book being set entirely in LA (until the epilogue).

This is a tough one to rate, simply because of a personal preference. I really enjoyed the love story and London and Dalia were really lived-in, believable characters, but I was so uninterested in the cooking show setting that the entire plot is based around... like, to the point that I was bored with it. Unfortunately, it drug the story down for me.

When London and Dalia were on page together and their romance and feelings were clearly evolving, those were the compelling parts. I just wish the plot was anchored in something I was remotely more interested in.

I will say, London reading all the supportive tweets about them being on the show and so publicly out was really heartwarming. I got choked up!

🌶️🌶️ This book was everything… from start to finish. It was funny, captivating, intense, and cute. I love cooking shows, and it was so fun to read the drama that *might* take place behind the scenes.  I married my wonderful nonbinary wife almost three years ago now, and I haven’t been able to find enough books that can possibly represent us, so it was really wonderful to read a novel that I could relate to.
