| book description |

'Think Bridget Jones if she were in The Bear' SUNDAY TIMES STYLE 'The Devil Wears Prada for devoted foodies' PLUM SYKES 'Slyly satirical and richly comedic' EVENING STANDARD 'Sharp, witty and funny' INDEPENDENT 'A delicious debut' PEOPLE When twenty-something Isabella Pasternack is fired from a digital food magazine, she accepts a thankless job ghostwriting a cookbook for now-infamous actress, Molly Babcock. Molly, on a reputation mission now going south, meets Isabella's earnestness with indifference and downright cruelty. But, for the first time, Isabella is determined to dig in her heels. Filled with a colourful cast of characters - including Isabella's acerbic roommate, her chaotic mother, and a burgeoning chef love interest - Food Person's slice of contemporary New York life is hilarious and hopeful, charting how the course of unapologetically forging your own future can lead to everyone getting their just deserts. 'A debut that's about as perfect as they come' GRANT GINDER 'Hilarious, harrowing, and heartwarming' J. RYAN STRADAL 'Utterly delicious and satisfying to the end' MARY ROACH
