It’s not as bad as the content warnings might suggest but it tries to be for brief moments. Is this why Ron Charles hated this book? I enjoyed itdhritigupta's review against another edition

i didn’t like the flashback format and the constant metaphors went over my head sometimes. i didn’t find the romance compelling or believable (which made the epilogue chapter feel off). the themes were somehow repetitive and hard to discern at the same time.
while the descriptions of food were lush, the writing overall was too literary for my taste
