{My Review}
5 Stars!
Despite being an heir to a French-Italian restaurant dynasty, Juliette works as a Food Writer. Juliette's brother offers her a chance to open a restaurant together, but Juliette doesn't know what to do. Take a chance on this restaurant endeavor or stay on her journalism career path. Should she throw away her journalism career?
Juliette has also recently lost her grandmother. While going through her grandmother's things, Juliette discovers an old vintage photo of a young man that looks exactly like her brother. Juliette soon finds herself on a mysterious and romantic adventure.
A Table By the Window was a charming, romantic, and witty afternoon read. It offers, mystery, romance, and family secrets. Who wouldn't want to read a novel like this?! This is the perfect novel for woman who want a fast afternoon read during a rainy day.
