Amanda Elliot
Two restaurant critics learn their opposing tastes might make for a five-star relationship in the next foodie romantic comedy from the author of Sadie on a Plate.By day, Julie Zimmerman works as an executive assistant. After hours, she’s @JulieZeeEatsNYC, a social media restaurant reviewer with over fifty thousand followers. As much as she loves her self-employed side gig, what Julie really wants is to be a critic at a major newspaper, like the New York Scroll. The only thing worse than the Scroll’s rejection of her application is the fact that smarmy, social-media-averse society boy Bennett Richard Macalester Wright snagged her dream job. While at the Central Park Food Festival, Julie confronts the annoyingly handsome Bennett about his outdated opinions on social media and posts the resulting video footage. Julie's follower count soars—and so does the Scroll’s. Julie and Bennett grudgingly agree to partner up for a few reviews to further their buzz. Online buzz, obviously. Over tapas, burgers, and more, Julie and Bennett connect over their shared love of food. But when the competitive fire between them turns extra spicy, they'll have to decide how much heat their relationship can take.

"I was like 2 weeks into my latest “lifestyle change” when I read this book so I might be biased. Amanda Elliot is very good at describing food… so much it makes you hungry lol! After reading 4 serious books in a row this one was a breath of fresh air. A fun read, with a genuine character. It’s books like these that make me want to visit New York!"

"DNF. Mic is way too immature to relate to or even tolerate."

"This book got better at about the halfway point, but I was so turned off by the protagonist’s attitude at the beginning. I get that she was supposed to be in a faux rivalry with another food critic, but she was written as bitchy rather than snarky IMO. That was enough to prevent me moving to a 4 star read."
