This was such an interesting book with the situations our fmcs were in. They are at a food conference showing their families foods that are both Armenian. One of them still is expected ft work output even on PTO. I'm getting PTSD lol.

Nazeli who is bi and just getting out of a hookup situation she thought was more but the guy was a dbag. And don't get me started on her boss. My work does not bother me when I'm on a trip; they don't even message me when I have cpe.
I loved the two families and the Romeo and Juliet feel but gender bent, forbidden romance, families fighting for decades etc. She meets Vanya and she's entranced but then it quickly becomes more difficult than she realized.

The competition segments were fun and I always love listening to anything about food. They were talking about the SF Bay Area which in this instance was Saratoga to SF, so pretty big area. I have lived in or have family in both of those areas so i love that I can picture it all. Though the competition takes place in Chicago which I've also been. So had a fun time traveling.

This was an insta attraction and dating situation since it was a week of them knowing each other even less really. But it helped for Nazeli to realize what she had before was severely lacking and her work situation was very toxic. Just because it's the “culture” doesn't mean it's ok. And mistakes were made so be ready for some drama cause it was like a televised show in a way.

Thank you @berkleyromance for this #gifted copy!
