I thought this was a rom-com and was surely disappointed that it was more of a contemporary fiction/family drama book.

Susan's grandfather Eliot ran a restaurant. Susan later tried to bring it back to the popular place it had been. There is one problem. She has to compete with an ex-lover, Chris (Susan's grandfather's protege), as he opens his own restaurant. Theirs was a brief fling but ended abruptly.

Susan has a mess of a family. Her mom died, her father only pays special attention to one sister, and sister Meg is a hypocondriac.

I actually liked the first half better when Sudan and Chris didn't even see each other again (after years) into around 43% of the book and then I just sruggled a bit to get through it.
