I'm a fan of this author AND Top Chef, so I was interested to see how the two combined. Stella is a teenage girl with a famous chef dad and a restaurant owner mom. She's grown up around food, even if she'd rather have a meal from Burger King than something a Top Chef makes. When she's offered an internship at a Philadelphia newspaper, she jumps at the chance, even if she's hired because of her parents. Her first job is to write a restaurant review and she finds herself noticing food in a new way, thanks to her mom's new intern, a gorgeous 20-year-old who gets in the way of Stella's boyfriend. Stella has commitment issues, thanks to her parents who work together but have been separated for six years. It's cute, romantic, dramatic, and just a good YA book.
