A Second Bite at the Apple

A luscious romance to whet your appetite, served up by a “smart and compelling” author who will have you begging for seconds (Publishers Weekly).

Sydney Strauss is obsessed with food. Not with eating it, but with writing about the wonders of the gastronomic world, from obscure fruit hybrids to organic farming techniques. Since food journalism jobs are more coveted than fresh truffles, Sydney pays her bills working for one of TV’s biggest egomaniacs—until she’s left scrambling for shifts at a local farmers’ market.

Stacking muffins for the Wild Yeast Bakery isn’t going to win her any James Beard awards. But soon Sydney is writing the market’s weekly newsletter, and her quirky stories gain attention from a prominent food columnist. And after years of keeping her love life in the freezer, she’s even dating again.

Then Sydney gets a shot at a story that could either make her career or burn it to a crisp—along with her relationship and her reputation . . .

From the acclaimed author of The Girls’ Guide to Love and Supper Clubs comes a witty, honest novel about daring to bite into the life you really want.
