Let’s play some predictive text! Finish this sentence “My fortune cookie says...” . My fortune cookie says it was so awesome I got a free vacation! I WISH!! In honor of the release of Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune by Roselle Lim I thought it would be fun to share some “fortunes.” This one released yesterday and sounds like such a cute and fun Contemporary! I will leave the synopsis below! . Thank you so much to @berkleypub for gifting me with this free book! _______________________________________________________ Lush and visual, chock-full of delicious recipes, Roselle Lim’s magical debut novel is about food, heritage, and finding family in the most unexpected places. . At the news of her mother’s death, Natalie Tan returns home. The two women hadn’t spoken since Natalie left in anger seven years ago, when her mother refused to support her chosen career as a chef. Natalie is shocked to discover the vibrant neighborhood of San Francisco’s Chinatown that she remembers from her childhood is fading, with businesses failing and families moving out. She’s even more surprised to learn she has inherited her grandmother’s restaurant. . The neighborhood seer reads the restaurant’s fortune in the leaves: Natalie must cook three recipes from her grandmother’s cookbook to aid her struggling neighbors before the restaurant will succeed. Unfortunately, Natalie has no desire to help them try to turn things around—she resents the local shopkeepers for leaving her alone to take care of her agoraphobic mother when she was growing up. But with the support of a surprising new friend and a budding romance, Natalie starts to realize that maybe her neighbors really have been there for her all along. #natalietansbookofluckandfortune #rosellelim #berkleypub #berkleypublishing #berkleyromance #booksandflowers #booksandcoffee #whiteroses #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #readersofinstagram #igbooks #igdaily #bookflatlay #flatlay #flatlayoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/Bynq_LAgX2s/?igshid=1n2npdldkh08c
