A very enjoyable, quick read. I loved the promise of this book and thought the story telling was really engaging. The writing was beautiful, although the sentences were insanely long at points and hard to follow. Gave a really interesting insight into a relationship that lacked trust and security, and how it quickly turned toxic.

Didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I would. I enjoyed learning about the different Taiwanese dishes and the country as a whole, but found a lot of the narrative between Aoyama and Chi-chan very repetitive. It was interesting to consider the covert power differences between the two characters and how it impacted both of them and their interactions together.

I really thought I was going to enjoy this book but it just didn’t do it for me. I felt there were a lot of plot holes and explanations for things that didn’t make sense. I didn’t believe in the relationship between Odessa and Ransom and found them to be a very annoying couple. Not sure I will bother reading the next book in the series.

An interesting insight into the culinary business and busy kitchens. Not sure if I enjoyed reading it but I have looked at restaurants very differently since!
