Sidney always wanted to write about food, but the job
that she has right now is working as a producer on a TV
show. Then comes the crashing blow, they are letting her
and a
lot of other people go.
Sidney doesn't know how she is going to pay her bills.
Sidney takes a part time job, selling bakery goods at a
street market. While working there is comes across a news
story about a company that wants to invest money into the
street vendors.
The only problem is Sidney is also dating Jeremy, who is
working for the company that is representing the firm that
wants to invest. Sidney finds some interesting
information that could harm the street vendors if this
company invests. Does Sidney want to risk her relationship
with Jeremy on a story that would get her the job she
wants?
Dana Bate kept me guessing all the way to the
end. I wondered what I would have done if I was in the
same position Sidney was in. Do you risk happiness for a
job that you always wanted? This would be a very hard
decision to make for anyone. Bate shows the pros and the
cons for both situations.
I loved A SECOND BITE OF THE APPLE from start to finish.
Once again a book
that has recipes at the end. Which I know I have said on
previously that I love, since I love to bake and cook. I
am always happy
to get new recipes.
From the acclaimed author of The Girls' Guide to Love and Supper Clubs comes a witty, honest novel, perfectly seasoned with both humor and heart, about daring to bite into the life you really want... Sydney Strauss is obsessed with food. Not with eating it--though she does that too--but with writing about the wonders of the gastronomic world, from obscure fruit hybrids to organic farming techniques. Since food journalism jobs are more coveted than Cronuts®, Sydney pays her bills working for one of TV's biggest egomaniacs--until she's left scrambling for shifts at a local farmers' market. Stacking muffins for the Wild Yeast Bakery isn't going to win her any James Beard awards. But soon Sydney is writing the market's weekly newsletter, and her quirky stories gain attention from a prominent food columnist. After years of putting her love life into deep freeze, she's even dating again. And then Sydney gets a shot at the story, one that could either make her career or burn it to a crisp--along with her relationship and her reputation...
