Food Person

Why is this five stars? Because I truly enjoyed every single moment! Isabella Pasternak is passionate about antique cookbooks, making the perfect egg and not getting mixed up in her mothers bizarre schemes. She tolerates her job as a food writer at Comestibles (because she loves all things food related) and manages to stay clear of her fellow workmates by filling them with pastries she bakes each morning. Isabella is devastated when she is fired for being too mediocre, too average and screwing up a live video while making a chocolate soufflé.  Her roommate Owen has been her best friend since freshman year and although he doesn’t eat much, he does enjoy her company and happily entices her with a work opportunity through his agent father to ghostwrite a cookbook for a messed up B actress looking to make a comeback. From the moment Isabella meets Molly she is thrown on an erratic rollercoaster of unusual whims and charming this bad girl out of her latest catastrophe. Molly who doesn’t eat, doesn’t cook and has zero interest in following through on anything, quickly turns Isabella’s nice quiet existence completely upside down. This fast paced delicious coming of age story in the heart of NYC is the perfect recipe for friendship, love and laughter. Cookbooks, humor and even a dash of romance - perfect reading for a simmering day at the beach! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
