Publisher's summary

A young chef stumbles on a secret family recipe that might lead her to the love—and life—she’s been looking for in this stunning novel from the New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December.

A POPSUGAR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

When Iris decides to move to New York to restart her life, she realizes she underestimated how big the Big Apple really is—all the nostalgic movies set in New York she’d watched with her mom while eating their special secret-recipe gelato didn’t quite do it justice.

But Bobby, Iris’s best friend, isn’t about to let her hide away. He drags her to a famous autumn street fair in Little Italy, and as they walk through the food stalls, a little family-run gelateria catches her eye—could it be the same shop that’s in an old photo of her mother’s?

Curious, Iris returns the next day and meets the handsome Gio, who tells her that the shop is in danger of closing. His uncle, sole keeper of their family’s gelato recipe, is in a coma, so they can’t make more. When Iris samples the last remaining batch, she realizes that their gelato and her gelato are one and the same. But how can she tell them she knows their secret recipe when she’s not sure why Gio’s uncle gave it to her mother in the first place?

Iris offers her services as a chef to help them re-create the flavor and finds herself falling for Gio and his family. But when Gio’s uncle finally wakes up, all of the secrets Iris has been keeping threaten to ruin the new life—and new love—she’s been building all winter long.

LOVED IT

My Josie silvers favorite will always be the two lives of Lydia bird but this one had me hooked from the beginning. I wish at some point S would’ve known about V coming back because I’m a sucker for other love stories but this one was wonderful. Will read and listen again 🤍

Perfect winter festive rom com

I absolutely adored the romance and the found family aspect. The relationship between Iris and Belotti family was just heart warming. I think that the topics of verbal abuse was done well in this too. For anyone who’s ever been in a toxic relationship. Overall this was a great listen and the narrator was amazing.

So close!

The writing is good… the narrator is good. The story itself has great bones, interesting elements and themes, just too much time spent in the wrong areas (main character dithering and not communicating) and not enough in the right areas (backstory of main character, resolution). I think if the weight of the different parts had been reworked, it could have been a really great book! But the way it is… the main character ends up with the emotional maturity of a high schooler playing at being an adult. But again… the writing itself is good- so maybe just needs better editing?

I need a gelato maker

Narration was excellent. She made Gio sound sexy even in her own female voice! The immersion into NYC was wonderful. The family was beautiful. It was definitely inspired by Moonstruck and old fashioned ways.

Another hit for Josie Silver

Iris and Gio are perfection. I love the way, once again, Josie Silver wove the past and present to form such a beautifully told story of lasting love, and heartache, the ties that bind, and finding solace and family in unique people and places. I have loved all of the books I’ve read by Silver and look forward to many more! These are starting to be my favorite “Christmas” / holiday romance books.

Narration was good
