pick

Two Armenian families enter a competition to promote their food brands. Nazeli & Vanya have an instant chemistry which their shared culture strengthens, until they realize their parents have been in a years-long feud. They hide their budding relationship while trying to convince the judges that Armenian cuisine can be palatable to the masses
Loved the romance in this one! Forbidden romance/rivals
And I enjoyed learning about Armenian food &culture

peanutnine It seems appropriate that I finished this yesterday, as today is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Genocide_Remembrance_Day https://m.jpost.com/opinion/article-851146 4w

so-so

3/5⭐ This is a cute, fun, simple romance. The characters felt one-dimensional. I never got a feel for Ellie's personality or why Vanya would be attracted to her. Ellie seemed immature, and her reactions to her ex being pretty much the same as her feelings for Vanya made it difficult to believe in the new relationship. #buzzwordathon
