Thanks to PRHAudio for the free audiobook, and to NetGalley and Berkley for an eARC.

Effie has travelled around and been a chef many places.  She returns home, down on her luck, and gets a job at a local restaurant.

She and Ernie were childhood besties.  Lots of history between them.  Ernie also works at the restaurant.

They date-ish.  The start having bucket list dates and they are just delightful.

Things are amiss at the restaurant, a bit of a mystery and investigation into what is going on.

This was a fun, hometown, childhood friends to lovers that was enjoyable.  I found the audio to be a delight.
