Recipe for Second Chances
Recipe for Second Chances | Ali Rosen
3 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
The ones that got away reunite at a big Italian wedding in this second-chance romance from debut author Ali Rosen, the James Beard Award-nominated writer and host of Potluck with Ali Rosen. Stella Park is elated to celebrate her best friend's wedding in the Italian countryside--and maybe she also needs this escape from her personal and her professional life. Writing recipes for a living isn't all it's cooked up to be. But the revelry is short lived when she runs into the ex she hasn't seen since she broke his heart ten years ago, Samuel Gordon. As her past gets propelled to the forefront, Stella tries not to question the choices she made a decade ago. When Stella and Samuel keep getting pushed together during a weekend filled with delectable food, Indian and Italian wedding traditions, and unplanned detours in gorgeous locales, she attempts to ignore that maybe he really was the one that got away. Playing it safe has always been Stella's dependable rule book. But maybe Samuel is worth the risk--and perhaps some love stories just need more time to marinate.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

This had a dreamy Italian setting, delicious food descriptions, a cute romance, and sweet friendships. There are even some recipes at the end of the book, which was a fun bonus. However, Stella‘s character was frustrating at times and everything fell a bit flat for me. #amazonfirstreads

An intense, page-turning romance that highlights the strength of female friendships. You‘ll spend much of the book wondering what happened to split them up in the 1st place. Stella heads to Italy to celebrate one of her best friends‘ wedding. She‘s anxious, even terrified about running into her ex. This would be a perfect beach or vacation read, if you can pull yourself away from the book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
