Read March 2021
This was a decent book but not nearly as good as my previous read, The Late Bloomer's Club. Lou is trying to keep her French restaurant, Luellas, afloat. The restaurant receives a scathing review from a man who writes under a pseudonym, which pretty much causes it to fail. Of course the two meet and begin to date, while agreeing to never talk about work. When the truth comes out, how will they make their relationship work?
It sounds like a decent premise but Al, the writer, was so obnoxious and then suddenly changed course too quickly; it didn't make sense. Lou's first boyfriend was SO stereotypically evil, even named Devlin (like the devil?)... it was a bit much. And then Lou just wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Weirdly, there was a lot of sex written into the book, which didn't seem to fit. But I did love the recipe for coconut cake included at back of the book! :)
