A sweet second chance romance full of love, living with grief, and a lot of blueberry pancakes. Great for fans of Taylor Swift. 

Lindsay Hameroff’s debut novel hit the mark for me - it had a little bit of everything I enjoy in a story. A strong plot, endearing main characters, strong friends (Chloe, Ali), Jewish food, and a dose of real life. Lexi is coping with the loss of her mother 9 years ago to uterine cancer. She’s living in her grief and Hameroff really portrayed it accurately and how hard it can be to cope with such an enormous loss. 

I only wish Lexi had communicated better with Jake about how she was feeling with their conflicting work schedules. He tried to get her to open up but she wouldn’t. 

I really enjoyed the food aspect of this novel and learning a bit about what goes on behind the scenes at a restaurant. 

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
