Description
Mia Maxwell loves food. She loves it so much that she's made it her career. On the surface Mia seems to have it all. She lives in trendy east London with her best friend, Lizzie, who owns a cupcake cafe. By day she runs her own food PR consultancy, and by night she's a food blogger with a burgeoning audience. Mia has a banker boyfriend, Paul, who enjoys travelling the world, enabling her to taste the globe's culinary delights. But Mia is still hungry and, when she heads down to Cornwall to run a food festival, she doesn't realise that her entire life is about to be cast adrift.
Episode 1 - Mia Maxwell knows that her love of food is tied to her healthy appetite for romance. She's admitted as much on her food blog, "Culinary Confessions of a Greedy Girl." But could a chance encounter with a fellow foodie in Cornwall really entice her to question her own romantic relationship?

Review: Wow, what a fun, quick read. I love the idea that this book is going to be published in little parts twice a week, it will give me something to look forward to every Monday! It was also the perfect length to be read in one or two sittings (as I did) which makes it ideal for this kind of publication!
I liked the character of Mia and in this little installment, we are able to see what a well rounded character she is already. I think that Mia is someone that we can all relate to, doing a bit of blogging and writing on the side, not wanting to make too much of a big deal about it and being invested in her day job. She is also someone who tries not to eat too much cake but fails miserably every single time-at least she runs to make up for it which is more than I can say! She also has a strong friendship that she can rely upon.
In terms of plot, this little installment really sets up events that I am sure are going to be developed as the story progresses. The most important thing here is Mia's blog and also Mia's love life. Yes, she is in a relationship, but not one that she is happy with and now there has been the complication of a man who infuriates her coming onto the scene, i can't wait to see how this all unfolds in future issues!
The description in this writing is amazing, I could picture the long train journey down to that bottom corner of England, the scenery when Mia arrived there and the buzz of the food festival that she was there to attend., I completely understood when she was waiting for texts from her boyfriend and felt her passion for food through the writing in this novella.
Overall I would definitely recommend giving this a read, after all, who doesn't want a quick lunchtime read that features amazing countryside, fabulous food and a twisty love story? Fabulous!
