Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House Ballantine Dell for gifting me a digital and physical ARC of the new book by Jilly Gagnon. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Ellie's dream career was designing theater costumes in NYC. While her career never took off, it all but disappeared when her father died and she returned home to take over running the family's deli. But after all that sacrifice, it appears that the deli may be a thing of the past if rumors are true about a gourmet food department store moving into town. Theo Taylor is the son of the property management company about to make the deal, but when Ellie meets him to plead her case, an accident happens that renders Theo with temporary amnesia. Eventually the two come up with a plan to help them both.
This was a fun rom-com complete with a fake engagement and tons of food descriptions that had me drooling! In fact, I need Mimi's lasagna recipe! Both Ellie and Theo were faced with familial responsibilities that they allowed to overtake their own dreams. It's a good reminder that happiness comes when we are true to ourselves and others. Ellie's best friend Bella was probably my favorite character, although Mimi was great as well.
