Without much choice left she leaves the city that saw her become a chef to go back to her roots while attending the family business. What she doesn't expect is that the Valley may have different plans to keep her for more than a few weeks.
What I liked:
- The way Roxie made a name for herself and knew what hard work looked like. Even when she goes back to the town, she works to be recognised as Roxie and not her mother's daughter.
- Leo Maxwell was a really interesting character, he has layers upon layers but as we get to know him and the interaction he has with everyone, he becomes one of the most enjoyable characters.
- The addition of LGBT characters in a classy, chilled way. No one overreacts (Only Roxie and it has more to be with the back story they had).
- The inner fight Roxie had. She has to make choices by the end of the book that can change her and who she thought she wanted to be. It's interesting to see a book that doesn't leave everything to true love, you see the fight between her career, love and the name she was forming herself.
- The last plot twist was too much for me. Knowing the last secret of Leo was an added that maybe we could've done without. It was really well managed but it was added almost a 100 pages before the end.
Mayte.
