Debatably an adult. Taken in by beautiful covers. Too many books, not enough time. Reviewer with SFF Insiders! https://www.sffinsiders.com/?author=65ea4d6295434e3d081fe9d1

Thought Provoking: Focus on the story solely
Cover: Matches the story well

This was the perfect, cosy, fun and silly fantasy I needed after a series of heavy reads. Joseph created a lovely little gem in these pages, and one I will be picking up again for a lighthearted, laugh-filled read when I need it.

The Nameless Restaurant feels like a mashup of the richness of a Studio Ghibli film and the food passion of Food Wars. It’s just an all around cozy read.
