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.
