North of Happy by Adi Alsaid
5.0
4.5 stars. I liked this a lot, and it made me smile while listening to the audiobook. I'm not that big into cooking myself, but it was still fun to have that be the focus of the book, and to have each chapter start out with the ingredients to a recipe.
Our MC here is "talking" to his brother throughout most of the book. His brother who was killed in a tragic accident, but is sticking around in ghost form(taking on forms of critters and such). I enjoyed the conversations between brothers.
It's cooking. It a love story. It's a story about family and learning and moving on.
It's present tense ... which I don't love, but this was well written, so I didn't mind. First person.
I don't know that this was the GoodReads 5***** "it was amaZing" but it was really good, absolutely kept my interest and was a feel good read.
There was some proFanity.
