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...

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...
