Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
Yeah I can't do this book as a vegan. I've read other cooking based rom-coms and there was just one too many eye rolls situations for me
  1. Eating fish/seafood is not vegetarian
  2. Cows are not 'dangerous' - no more so than a horse which is a similar sized animal
  3. Dairy farms do not milk cows by hand - describing it this way just perpetuates this fake reality that cows on dairy farms are 'happy' and not the reality that they are continually abused for their milk.
  4. Apparently if you don't like barbecue you're now a fascist (that was the last straw and I really don't care that it was a joke)

If you're looking for a rom-com with cooking and trans rep perhaps try Chef's Kiss (which has less eye roll food situations).
