Greg Harlow has left New York and TikTok fame in debt and in desperate need of his new job as a bartender at the restaurant Julien's aunt and uncle own. Julien has his own plans to become a sommelier and to move beyond working at his aunt and uncle's restaurant.

I felt like Julien's backstory and motivation felt a little more compelling than Greg's, and I felt like the ending didn't completely answer every question I had, but overall this was a fun read.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy.
