3⭐️ Alright let’s start with what i love about the book. I love the diversity and how cute this book is. the names for cookies based on people is such a cute idea!! Now our Fmc is totally unlikable and i know that the point so Delise Torres did amazing!! I read this book in audiobook form and the narrator did not do it for me but she did not do a bad job it just came off as cringy. besides all of that i actually enjoyed this book. i think i’ll buy the physical copy as well. thank you netgalley for this audiobook!!

How the book was marketed: A Latina Fleabag committed to her carefree single life meets the sexy new mechanic determined to break through her defenses, in this humorous and heartfelt foodie women’s fiction set at a cookie company.

What the book is actually about: Two coworkers with attachment disorders on opposite ends of the spectrum hook up in a book that barely passes the Bechtel Test.

EVERYONE in this book sucked. FMC was an awful human that would not have any friends in real life if this was an actual human. MMC was needy AF and way too attached. In one scene, he hasn't heard from FMC for less than 24 hours, and he's threatening to call the cops. WTF?!?

Everyone is emotionally constipated or has emo shits, and this bareeeellyyyyyy passes the Bechtel test… Even at work, the women only speak to each other about dudes, and the only time work is talked about, it's between men or between the women and the men. There was only one scene where work was talked about between FMC and the owner of the company, but even then, it was only talked about in relation to love and relationships.

The only part I enjoyed was the factory info. Though, the business owner and management team sound like they should have been focused on communication and not peripheral BS.

All around - YIKES. If I hadn't committed to this as an ARC, I wouldn't have finished it.
