Love from Scratch

“Sweet and satisfying!”—Jenna Evans Welch, New York Times bestselling author of Love & Gelato

Rival interns with sizzling chemistry in and out of the kitchen? That’s a recipe for love.

This summer, Reese Camden is trading sweet tea and Southern hospitality for cold brew and crisp coastal air. She's landed her dream marketing internship at Friends of Flavor, a wildly popular cooking channel in Seattle. The only problem? Benny Beneventi, the relentlessly charming, backwards-baseball-cap-wearing culinary intern—and her main competition for the fall job.

Reese's plan to keep work a No Feelings Zone crumbles like a day-old muffin when she and Benny are thrown together for a video shoot that goes viral, making them the internet's newest ship. Audiences are hungry for more, and their bosses at Friends of Flavor are happy to deliver. Soon Reese and Benny are in an all-out food war, churning homemade ice cream, twisting soft pretzels, breaking eggs in an omelet showdown—while hundreds of thousands of viewers watch.

Reese can't deny the chemistry between her and Benny. But the more their rivalry heats up, the harder it is to keep love on the back burner...

    “Sweet and satisfying!”—Jenna Evans Welch, New York Times bestselling author of Love & Gelato

My Review:

5 Stars Kaitlyn Hill's debut novel "Love from Scratch" is the cherry on the cake that will captivate audiences worldwide. It places a spotlight on the topics that should be amplified, including hatred comments toward females, workplace double standards, positive impacts of having a female mentor, and raising social media frames. Although some topics can be heavy, the way Kaitlyn approaches them in her writing makes it a super light, easy read that will resonate with many. Be prepaid to be brought to your feet to cheer on the main characters and cry from laughter from all the food puns. The sweet romance will be so delicious that you will want more—a must-read for every young person entering the real-world workplace. I cannot wait to see what Kaitlyn comes out with next.

I will be thinking about this for a long time.
