content warnings:
The Romance Recipe deals with homophobia (experienced off-page), and emotional abuse from parents. There is explicit sex and bi and lesbian rep in this book.
A really enjoyable book. It's not high art, sure, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable read, and while we might be inclined to make assumptions just based on the romance genre and the publisher, I still felt that the plot was uncertain and surprising.
