It is a story about a kitchen staff writing from the perspective of Trevor, a chef who was being possibly scouted for a high position in the kitchen. He has feelings for another chef in the kitchen named Jack. Jack is highly praised by everyone in the kitchen and that makes Trevor jealous. In the end, Jack expresses some possible interest, but it turns out that he already has a partner. I really like the way that this story is written. I felt like it was almost a movie. I could see it all happening in my head as if it were on a screen, rather than the normal visuals that come with reading. I really enjoyed that only the important characters were given names, it made things significantly less confusing even though there were a lot of characters. It does leave me with quite a few questions. Is Jack actually interested in Trevor or did he misinterpret that? Or is Jack manipulating Trevor because of the possible promotion? Did Trevor get completely declined for the new position? Did Sully walking in on Jack and Trevor have something to do with him not getting the promotion? The main suggestion I have is the length. The beginning is a lot. It takes a while of kitchen service before we get into the actual interaction between the characters, and that interaction ends up being very brief. I really enjoyed the story though!
