Thank you Netgalley and Avon Books for the gifted book!
I thought this would be a fun wintery rom com and while it was a fun read, it is actually a book about a woman, Maya, coming into her own identity dealing with her anxiety and facing the truth hiding in her past through cooking the forgotten foods of her childhood. The descriptions of food make my mouth water and I was so rooting for so many characters throughout this book. Plus I was transported to a land of cold darkness and felt the stress of Maya as she learns to navigate her newfound life.

Some steamy scenes.
