Sage and Fisher may be some of my favorite fictional characters ever. They were so real, with flaws and quirks and healing and grief. I loved their banter and ability to see beyond the surface of each other. Fisher has recently lost his job, a Michelin Star, and also gained custody of his teenage niece. His life is in shambles, and he is sent to the small coastal town of Spunes to help create a menu for a new restaurant opening there. He meets Sage, the spunky neighbor with a heart the size of Texas, a literal farm of random abandoned animals that needed a home, and a flower garden. They decide to help each other out in true small-town fashion. Fisher is going to help her with a town competition, and in exchange, she’s going to help him with his menu. My only complaint is that I feel like I was much more invested in the first half of the book than the last 30%. That could be a me problem, it just wasn’t making me giggle and kick my feet like the first half did! Overall, I loved it. I cried. I laughed. And I love these characters! *Thank you to St. Martins Press & NetGalley for the ARC copy of Savor It!*
