Two words - Dreamy & Messy 💚

Pick it up if you want to read a story of motherhood struggles that is inspiring enough; with the chef's love :p 

I loved the synopsis when I read it. It kept me hooked with one chapter I read in the Indigo Ridge's book so I went ahead & ordered this beauty. I went in with the expectation to be a good read. And it was a good read (⁠ʘ⁠ᴗ⁠ʘ⁠✿⁠)

Memphis was everything. This book is her; she is the book. I loved her so much & admired her for being herself. Don't we all doubt ourselves in each waking moment of our life? She was one of us in that regard. And we do grow and get hold of ourselves at a point in our life rite? She did that too. Her vulnerability & raising herself from her self doubts was the beauty ♥️

I will adore her forever (⁠๑⁠˙⁠❥⁠˙⁠๑⁠)

Knox was a handsome, sweet & broody chef of quincy. His passion for food made me fall harder for him. He will make you swoon a lot with his little bit of grumpiness. His love for his family was undeniably the best thing about him. But I guess all Edens have that (⁠。⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠。⁠)

Have you ever heard the saying " The way to one's heart is stomach (explicitly means feeding them with food) " . It's really a famous saying in our parts. Knox's way to Memphis heart started from " Macaroni & cheese" ; cliche & indeed a cheesy way. 

I felt Knox needed Memphis & Drake more than they both needed him. They were a family from the moment they saw each other; it was destiny brought them together as a gift for the pain they have gone through ♥️

Let me tell you what was disappointing. Two things; One, it felt it was Memphis book & she dominated every single story line. The relationship between both were cute but felt like quick & done. Second, the mystery angel. Where was it? When I read Indigo Ridge it was equally balanced so obviously I had the same expectations when I went into it. It was there but it was not enough for a suspense story line or didn't have the same impact it had in the first book. 

But you know what made all this okay? 

Drake. 
His crying & cuteness! 
Knox & his relationship!

I would not regret reading this (⁠♡⁠ω⁠♡⁠ ⁠)⁠ ⁠~⁠♪
