Recipe for a Charmed Life
by Rachel Linden
Rachel Linden's Recipe for a Charmed Life is the sweet, warm, rom-com you need in your life! I absolutely fell in love with Georgia May, the main character. A Texas girl turned Parisian chef, Georgia May has done it all... almost. Her life changes when she needs a break from her career and just like that, her estranged mother reaches out with an invite to visit her in the San Juan Islands. Georgia May uses that visit to reconnect with herself, her mother, and even to find love (of course).
Georgia is a delight--wildly independent, full of passion and life. You just can't help but root for her as she tries to find her gifting in the kitchen and her sense of taste (which sadly vanished alongside a longterm relationship and her culinary job). I adored this book, the mouthwatering cuisine, and the great descriptions of place. The magical realism was a fun addition (though I found her constant dialogue with Julia Child to be a little weird, tbh). This book is sweet and predictable, with some glorious twists along the way.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the eARC. All opinions are my own.
