Taleen is back with her next queer Armenian romance! Ellie is beckoned to Chicago to help her parents with a food conference that may help put their amazing Armenian-Lebanese food on the map, but when she gets there, her parents' bitter rivals are also vying for the same spot of recognition. Despite the feud, their daughter Vanya catches Ellie's eyes and a sweet secret summer romance ensues. Featuring amazing foods and Chicago landmarks, this book is such a fun read. It's available May 7, 2024.
