"Love from Scratch" by Kaitlyn Hill sets the stage for a tantalizing romantic escapade amidst the culinary world's competitive backdrop. The rivalry-turned-romance between Reese and Benny, two interns vying for a coveted position, promises a recipe for love with its blend of charming banter and viral video fame. However, despite its engaging premise, the novel falls short of expectations, delivering a lackluster narrative that fails to capitalize on its potential for excitement and originality. While the chemistry between the protagonists adds some flavor to the story, the overall execution feels predictable and fails to offer anything truly memorable or noteworthy. As a result, "Love from Scratch" ultimately leaves readers with a lukewarm experience, lacking the depth and emotional resonance needed to make it truly satisfying.
