Goodreads: Already Home by Susan Mallery
Blurb: After nearly a decade as a sous-chef in a trendy eatery, Jenna is desperate for a change. She's supported her ex-husband's dreams for so long that she can't even remember her own. Until she sees a for-lease sign near her parents' home and envisions her very own cooking store.
Her crash course in business is aided by a streetwise store manager and Jenna's adoptive mother. But just as she's gaining a foothold in her new life, in walk her birth parents—aging hippies on a quest to reconnect with their firstborn.
Now Jenna must figure out how to reconcile the free-spirited Serenity and Tom with her traditional parents, deal with her feelings for a new love interest and decide what to do about her ex's latest outrageous request. In the end, Jenna will find that there is no perfect family, only the people we love….
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: While I've had mixed feelings about Mallery's series I've really enjoyed her stand alones and this one appeals to me. Plus, I have no memory when or how I came to own it which definitely means it's been on the shelf too long.
I like the cover, I've only read a few of her books, but this looks good.
ReplyDeleteI read this back in j2013 - thank you Goodreads! So that's close to seven years ago so I am suspecting it would feel very new to me at this point!
ReplyDeleteI remember when this book was everywhere. I haven't read Mallery yet but I kind of feel like I should. I hope you enjoy this one when you do read it!
ReplyDeleteOh, such a pretty cover. I do like Mallery's work. I should get back to her books, especially her women's fiction.
ReplyDeleteOh, cooking store. Now that's a new one! Very interesting. 👍✨
