I'll Have What He's Having by Adib Khorram
4.25
A case of mistaken identity leads to a situationship that ultimately leads to love in Adib Khorram’s I’ll Have What He’s Having.
As Farzan Alavi drowns his recent romantic woes in fries and wine, wine director, David Curtis, mistakes him for Kansas City’s top food critic. The wine and banter flow all night, and Farzan and David find themselves back at Farzan’s apartment after dinner wraps.
Their chemistry is scorching—and Farzan wants more—but David isn’t looking for anything serious. He has his sights set on restaurants in bigger cities after he passes his master sommelier exam.
When their paths cross again, Farzan and David strike up a friends-with-benefits situation, and as these things go, the more time they spend together, the closer they become.
Prepare to be hungry while reading this one, friends. Between reading about the food and wine at the wine bar where David works, everything that Farzan whips up, and the Persian cuisine from his family’s restaurant, I was salivating.
Also, note that the spices in the food aren’t the only things bringing the heat in this one.
I liked how Farzan and David care for and support each other, how their goals and dreams evolve over the course of the story, and the found family that backs them.
I had advance copies of both the ebook and the audiobook. I enjoyed the dual narration by Shezi Sardar and Brent Billings. I feel like they each captured their main character’s POV well. This would have been even better with duet narration, but I did enjoy the audiobook as it is.
I received advance copies of the book from Forever and Hachette Audio via NetGalley. All review opinions are my own.
