Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala
4.0
Woo! I just read this in a single sitting! It's a wet day outside; 22C today when it was 37C yesterday so it's been so good to snuggle down with a good read. I only meant to read a few chapters and then to pick up my buddy read book. Well, let's just say, buddy read didn't happen today 🤫
I love nearly everything about the book except that I found the main protagonist, Lila Macapagal, annoying at times and it was also pretty easy to guess who the killer is. It was just too obviously placed. But, I love the setting, the diversity of the characters, and all the food. Oh my goodness, this book is not doing my hips any favours. I am plotting for my meal tomorrow and will be fitting in all the cuisines (Filipinos, Korean, Japanese, and waffles!). I am currently salivating for some kimchi so excuse me a moment while I check my fridge....
Let's just say, READ this book to your hips' peril! It's so easy to swallow and felt pretty good going down.
