Contemporary Women's Fiction
Lila Soto has a masterโs degree thatโs gathering dust, a work-obsessed husband, two kids, and lots of questions about how exactly she ended up here. In their new city of Philadelphia, Lilaโs husband, Sam, takes his job as a restaurant critic a little too seriously. To protect his professional credibility, heโs determined to remain anonymous. Soon his preoccupation with anonymity takes over their lives as he tries to limit the familyโs contact with anyone who might have ties to the foodie world. Meanwhile, Lila craves adult conversation and some relief from the constraints of her homemaker role. With her patience wearing thin, she begins to question everything: her decision to get pregnant again, her break from her career, her marriageโeven if leaving her ex-boyfriend was the right thing to do. As Sam becomes more and more fixated on keeping his identity secret, Lila begins to wonder if her own identity has completely disappearedโand what it will take to get it back.
