 Sixteen-year-old Cyril is a genuinely nice guy, though he’s a little unsure of himself because of his weight. Cyril’s claim to fame is that he’s a fantastic chef. The secret love of Cyril’s life is his beautiful lab partner, Rose. Cyril agrees to help with the menu for a birthday party for Rose’s best friend, Jamie, just for the chance to hang out with Rose while they plan it. At the party, Cyril introduces Rose to his drop-dead gorgeous friend & neighbor, Nick. You guessed it. Nick & Rose hit it off and Cyril strikes out. He strikes out in love, but Cyril’s cooking has never been hotter. It’s agony for Cyril to watch Rose and Nick fall in love over his food. The full recipes for all Cyril’s specialties are given throughout the book. If you love romance and good eats, this is a book for you.  (Jean B.
