Thanks so much to Forever and net-galley for an E-arc of this book!
This was such a great, easy romance read with characters that felt so grounded and real! I read it in two days, and it only took that time because work made me pause!
Farzan and David were super compelling MCs whose romance was delightful. Especially during the sex scenes, they were generally good communicators, excluding the third-act breakup, although David was trying.
This is the third queer book I've read in recent months where one is becoming a master sommelier, and I don't know what that means for the community right now, but I'm obsessed...
I really enjoyed the restaurant focus of this book and how community-focused our two main restaurant settings were. The Iranian community is incredibly underrepresented in contemporary literature, especially romance, so it was great to see it spotlighted here!
Finally, extra points for the SHEER amount of Muppets references in this book... I love the muppets, and so it made me love the characters even more.
