I would like to start off my review by stating that I received an E-Arc through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

Artifacts of an Ex by Jennifer Chen is a cute, quirky romance based in L.A. The main female lead, Chloe, has been uprooted from New York City and finds herself in a completely new community full of vibrant characters, eye opening art, and amazing food ( yum! ).

I went into this book blind, the cover completely drew me in and I knew that I didn’t need to know anything else. The opening of the book is just as charming as the cover suggests, giving you a main character that’s easy to relate to and has a typically positive outlook on her situation. Until her ex breaks up with her THROUGH THE MAIL!!!!

Now the character is relatable in a completely different way, showing a bit more of their insecurity and how negative their thoughts can be even when they’re doing amazing things with the friends that they’re making along the way.

At first, when Daniel was introduced, I thought he was going to be one of those totally cringe film bros, but I was pleasantly surprised by their charismatic dialogue and caring attitude towards their friends. I related to Daniel a bit more than Chloe in terms of getting used before people get back together with their ex. I also liked how this slowed the pace a little bit more, making it a bit of a slow burn.

This is a cute, fluffy romance that will make you grit your teeth and swoon within the same chapter. Parts of this book are absolutely tragic, creating a depth to this novel that draws you in and makes you want to finish it as soon as possible so you can find out how everything works out between Chloe and Daniel! ( I literally could not sleep until I knew they were endgame )

I would 100% recommend this to friends and family with common interests. Thank you for the opportunity!

Transitions

Chào / Hi,

I hope this message finds you well as we approach the winter solstice and break.

I want to share that I'll be transitioning out of my role as Pie Ranch's Youth Organizing and Program Coordinator at Oceana High School at the end of this month and semester.  

Thank you for your time, energy, and commitment in supporting OHS's food programs, our visions toward food access and justice, and my journey as an educator the last three years.  

45 students have been part of our summer and afterschool paid HomeSlice internship;

Hundreds of students and counting have been part of field trips, in-class lessons, afterschool programming, entrepreneurial experiences like catering, pop-up markets, student-led fundraisers, and more;

A dozen alum have returned to continue to support the program in different ways;

OHS has been a home site for a total of 42 Pie Ranch CSA subscribers and their loved ones the last three years, growing every season.  We reached our highest number ever this season with 20 shares;

Over 300 individuals and groups follow the garden online through social media;

The garden's expanded to a larger field, and last year was our first season growing with it and the new Agri-Science class dedicating study and time to its growth.

I've been reminded how important pedagogy and community are in my life.  In addition to all the food we've grown, learned about, harvested, and been nourished by, I've experienced growth in people, especially the creative and bright youth I'm so grateful to have worked and built with.

I want to introduce Jennifer Chen, who'll be helping coordinate the Pie Ranch-OHS youth program partnership beginning in January.  

Please check out the link to learn more about Jennifer.

While I'll be transitioning, the OHS garden and food programs will continue.  

We're asking for your support this winter season and raising funds in this next week.  Please consider joining us for lunch next Wednesday or pre-order OHS Garden gifts:
