"Maxine 'Max' Mayberry, an ad executive with writing ambitions, is holed up in a friend's apartment after discovering her long-term boyfriend in bed with another woman. If that wasn't bad enough, Max has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour. Enter Johnny: a cheeky yet charming Tinder pen pal and the perfect distraction. Together, Max and Johnny flirt and cook their way through The Laurent Family Cookbook (a recipe book from Max's ex-boyfriend's pretentious French family) without ever meeting in person. The 'Fork Him' project starts as a joke, but soon transforms into something more meaningful as Max undergoes brain surgery, travels to Paris for a fresh start, and decides whether she believes in herself enough to chase the life - and the man - she really wants."--Back cover.

Duck À L'Orange for Breakfast

“I feel instantly calm, not from the wine – it needs a few minutes to do its thing – but because the kitchen is so familiar. It feels like one giant, warm hug.”

“Not only is my window seat perfect for people-watching, I love that I’m now part of the scenery to be observed.”
