Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A unique and gorgeously written love story bursting with characters you’ll want to protect.”—Lizzie Damilola Blackburn, author of Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband?

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 🤍

So Romantic/ Sweet/ Beautiful

Beautiful story of heart breaking & loss but redemption & healing. Love story at its finest. Sweet & beautifully written

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.

A Hallmark Movie

3.5⭐️

The first 1/3 of this was hard to get through. It didn’t feel like there was really a plot and I didn’t know in what direction the story was heading, so i zoned out several times because I just wasn’t really interested or invested. I almost DNF’d this.

The second half was much better and I loved the last 30-40%! It read like a Hallmark movie. I also loved the FMC, her character ARC, and the story she eventually shared.

Despite not liking this as much as I hoped I would, Josie Silver’s writing is beautiful! A slower book, with a little love story and a lot of found family. If that’s your speed, give it a go.

Another Wonderful Story — so much more than just Romance

Josie Silver writes stories about relationships — friends, family, communities and oh, ROMANCE. I hope this author continues to tell them for decades!!! Each one is unique. A new adventure in surprising directions. Can’t wait for the next one!!

Unfortunately Boring

I have loved her other books. Not this. The first part was incredibly boring. It got better but I almost stopped listening. The narration was also not great. It made it all seem juvenile. The end was also silly.
Anyway, not great for me.

Josie Silver and Emma Appleton ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Story was cute. Characters were relatable. Emma’s voice was soothing and each character she gave distinct tones to. I loved it!

A nice ending

I listened to this sample about 10x before I decided to use a credit. I had a really hard time with this narrator and listened on fast speed. I enjoyed the story and the characters.

Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it

Wouldn’t recommend but I stuck with it. I think the word to describe was tedious. The narrator didn’t help.

Josie Hits It Out Of The Park Again!

What a beautiful story. I loved how the 2 main characters were broken when they met & carefully mended each other throughout the story. Have a box of Kleenex nearby when you read this!
