The Restaurant Critic's Wife - Elizabeth LaBan


♥♥♥♥

Thank you Net Galley for approving me for a review copy.

I went into this book completely blind, only knowing I liked the cover after seeing it on Net Galley. It was a quick read and quite captivating, once I started I couldn’t put it down.

The characters are lovable, well most of them, I wanted to strangle the husband, Sam Soto, throughout the book. He irritated me so much.

The book follows Lila Soto, a housewife and mother of two, who gave up her fast passed career as a Crisis Manager at a large hotel chain to move to a new town where her husband is a restaurant critic at one of the leading newspapers. Obsessed with keeping his identity a secret, Sam has kept Lila from making friends in their new neighbourhood.

Lila soon realises that she isn’t cut out for this, and craves the fast passed life she used to have, even doubting her choice to leave her ex-boyfriend, marriage and getting pregnant again. She soon makes friends with exactly the people Sam did not want her to befriend.


I really enjoyed this book and could relate to Lila. The descriptions of food and restaurants were wonderful and I found myself drooling and craving the dishes that were described.
