Effie Olsen's Summer Special

fullDescription

These childhood best friends swore they’d never speak again. But a surprise summer reunion changes everything when it gives them the chance to turn up the heat.
 
Effie Olsen thought she’d never live on the tiny Maine island where she grew up, but she’s returning from sixteen years as a professional chef in far-flung countries for one summer and one summer only. Her hometown boasts one of the best restaurants in the US, and lucky for her, Brown Butter needs a sous chef. Effie's eager for a chance at redemption after her last job went up in flames, but reluctant to set down roots in a place that reminds her of the ghosts of her past.
Until, that is, she runs into Ernie Callahan, her onetime best friend who now works in the very same restaurant. Early morning swims and late-night games of truth or dare with Ernie remind her of what she’s been missing while traveling the world. He knows her better than anyone, and it doesn’t hurt that his smile lights her up brighter than the lighthouses dotting the craggy coastline.
But their restaurant has a secret that’s bursting at the seams, and if Effie doesn’t keep it, her job will vanish into the foggy Maine air. As summer draws to a close, her dream job and the perfect guy are both within reach. Her salty seaside hometown might be the key to Effie’s sweet ending...if she can learn to let her heart lead the way in time.

     Starred review from February 1, 2024
     

     After being fired from her dream job, chef Effie Olsen returns home to the small, touristy town of Adler Isle, ME, to work as a sous chef at the Michelin-starred restaurant Brown Butter, where her former best friend, Ernie Callahan, also works. Effie hasn't spoken to Ernie since she left, shortly after he uttered the unrequited "I love you" that ruined their friendship. But Ernie isn't the lanky teen she remembers, and she wonders if she made a mistake in running away from the closest bond she's ever known. They make a pact to renew their friendship and get to know each other again. When Effie uncovers a scandal at Brown Butter, however, she'll have to make an ethical decision that will have far reaching effects on Ernie, the Isle, and the people she's grown to love again. VERDICT A much less intense version of The Bear, but with all the same familial bonds and restaurant drama. Bilow (Ruby Spencer's Whiskey Year), a classically trained chef and food writer, serves up a full dish of romance, humor, and meaty plot, with a perfect portion of sexiness on the side.--Kara Kohn

     Bilow’s sweet and summery sophomore outing (following Ruby Spencer’s Whiskey Year) delivers a tender second-chance romance. After high school, nothing was going to keep Effie Olsen in her small hometown of Alder Ilse, Maine—not even her childhood BFF, Ernie Callahan, professing his love for her on graduation night. For 16 years, Effie’s lived her dream, traveling the world as a professional chef, but when her latest job ends in disaster, she heads home to regroup. Unpleasant memories haunt her return, but at least she’s able to land a job as a sous-chef at the town’s Michelin-rated restaurant, Brown Butter. There’s just one problem: Ernie works there too. The pair quickly agree to put the past behind them and attempt to restore their friendship, but when sparks fly, Effie realizes Ernie’s feelings aren’t as unrequited as she once thought. Will flighty Effie be willing to stay put and explore their relationship? To make matters even more complicated, when trouble comes for Brown Butter, both Effie and Ernie’s jobs are at stake. Bilow slowly turns up the heat on the central romance as the protagonists try and fail to stifle their feelings. Readers will have no trouble seeing that these two belong together.
