  • Starts off in Paris with Georgia being the sous chef on her way to a dazzling career. She’s got the hottest Parisian chef boyfriend according to the magazines and a bright future ahead until she discovers a secret that everyone else in the kitchen knew, besides her.
  • Ode to Julia child throughout the whole book
  • Her estranged mother sends her a letter asking her to come to a small island town in Seattle to try nd fix their relationship. She moves in with her to hopefully give some space of her Paris life to settle before returning
  • She tries to ignite her spark and passion for cooking again while visiting her mom and has a mysteriously hott neighbor Cole who happens to tromp around in bright orange overalls because he’s an oyster farmer. 
  • This was filled with magical realism fantasy, humor, lots of secrets and romance. Rekindling of old and new relationships.
