2.5 stars
Picked up on a whim from the local library as a quick palette cleanser.
Where this book shines is does a good job of getting the atmosphere of a cooking competition across (at least, as one watches it on TV, I wouldn't know about being part of one) and it was easy for me to play the whole book out like a movie/tv show in my head. Towards the end of the book, once we hit the semi-finals, it kinda dropped the ball on descriptions of the food and the cooking. The whole hours long competition for the day took like one or two pages max. On the one hand, it was nice to speed things up. On the other, the cooking is the main appeal to the book.
The characters are so-so, with the majority of them getting hardly any development before being eliminated. Our MC herself, Peyton, is a little bland for my taste, but I didn't strongly dislike any of them so that was a win.
The forced TV drama got pretty old, but I guess they needed something else in the book besides JUST cooking. I would have preferred a different sort of avenue to satisfy that requirement, but oh well.
Recommended for the cooking show enthusiast in us all - 2 stars because I don't ever see myself coming back to it.
