I read a lot of romances so there are several I can think of I enjoyed that are centered around food: The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, A Winter in New York by Josie Silver, and anything by Jasmine Guillory.

Romance is one genre I’ve never really explored. I’ll check these out!

My dr offered me ozempec and I said no way. Too many horrifying side effects like the lady next to me in the ER one night who literally could not digest food anymore and she was on the drug for its actual purpose, diabetes. it was very sad to be able to overhear those doctors.

I’m sorry that you had to experience this, the side effects certainly aren’t talked about enough. For those wanting to use the drug for medical purposes I’m glad they have the option. I worry that fat phobia is going to become worse now there is an easy route to loose weight.

Thanks. And yeah, those injections making weight loss seem easy are really not helping peoples self esteem. They've become the latest fad and people just don't seem to care about the other damage they do to the body.

All these is on my TBR. Other food related novels I’ve read are The Kamogawa Food Detectives and Like for Chocolate. They were so mouthwatering!
