Description

When Anahit’s life feels like a recipe that just isn’t coming together, she decides it is time for a change of pace. Desperate to reconnect with her heritage and shake off the expectations of her Armenian upbringing, she throws herself into the high-stakes, high-pressure world of a televised cooking competition. It is the perfect opportunity to prove her worth, provided she can survive the cameras, the cutthroat kitchen environment, and the mounting pressure of the spotlight. But the real challenge isn’t the delicate art of crafting the perfect lavash—it is navigating the magnetic chemistry she feels with a fellow contestant. As they battle for culinary supremacy under the glare of studio lights, the lines between professional strategy and genuine passion begin to blur. Lavash at First Sight is a vibrant, mouth-watering celebration of discovery and desire. Taleen Voskuni serves up a delightful narrative filled with sharp wit, deep cultural roots, and a heat that rivals any kitchen stove. This is a gorgeous, joyful romance that captures the thrill of finding love when you least expect it—and the courage it takes to craft a life entirely on your own terms.

Gorgeous foodie sapphic romcom

I wanted to get lost in this book and never escape. Voskuni does it again with another gorgeous Armenian sapphic romance, this time set in dreamy Chicago and surrounded by delicious Armenian food, the most delectable main characters, their equally sexy and adorable banter, and the delightful, entertaining rivalry of their parents. I mean, check them out on the cover—come on! Lavash at First Sight explores staying true to yourself as a first generationer while supporting your family and not being afraid to jump on love, wherever, whenever, despite everything else. I love how Voskuni digs deep on character, bringing out all the feels we experience finding love and finding ourselves, while producing another laugh-out-loud funny book. Cannot wait for many more from Voskuni!!

Super cute

This was a lot of fun. I liked the characters and seeing them fall in love. I really liked the set up and the food contest mixes with the reality tv show. I liked seeing the clash between the two families and the culture This was a cute story.

3 Stars - it was fine

Thank you to the publisher for an ARC copy of this novel; all opinions are my own. This was a fun read with lots of Armenian, Arab representation, a sapphic couple, bi-sexual representation, and a lot of food. I can get behind all of that. Altogether though, the highlight of this book was the one-liners from the parents. I’ll be honest, I was more interested in the parents than I was in our heroines, unfortunately. I wanted to love them, I just, kind of didn’t. They were fine. The parents were hilarious though. The food descriptions were top-tier. I was so hungry reading this book. Googling Armenian restaurants near me as we speak actually.

Captivating from the first chapter!!!!

What more can I say about this lovely romance! The author catches your attention immediately with amazing character development and immerses you in the very familiar familial cultural struggle of pleasing your parents while not losing sight of your wants and desires. The build up and tension is perfection and gives you all the feels! I was an avid fan of the author's first novel Sorry Bro and the second novel did not disappoint. I can't wait to see what she publishes next
