This is in the running for my top book of 2024, and I think you should absolutely read it. Even better, grab it for your book club. There's so much to discuss! 

We follow Chef Josie Babineaux, her family and the townsfolk of Grand Isle, Louisiana. The story that is woven through is absolutely beautiful, and it has you cheering until the very end for everyone including the town's Brown Pelican, Gumbo. I loved every page.
