Description: When her first love falls apart, a Filipina-Canadian foodie is devastated as she believes she's to blame. To prove her devotion, Maria joins a social-media cooking contest despite her family's advice to move on from the toxic man. It draws him back until he reveals his loyalty to his new girlfriend. Crushed, Maria uproots her life to Thailand to teach English. Her vibrant photos and contest posts catch her ex's interest, and the feelings she tried to suppress resurface. The stress of being a new teacher and handling Adrian's mood swings pushes Maria close to her breaking point. As her new friends, including her flirty next-door neighbour, encourage her to move on, she must decide between her ex's apologies and promises, a fling with her hot, commitment-phobic neighbour, or time alone to heal and find herself.
Warnings: Drug and alcohol references, mentions of self-harm and suicidal thoughts. The final chapter of book 2 is mature for sexual content as well as a scene or two of book 3 (there are always warnings before these scenes). There are LGBTQ+ supporting characters.
Feedback: How is hooking the opening chapter, which parts could be omitted, how you connect with the characters. This is a 4th or 5th (I've lost track) draft so feel free to tear it apart as long as you're constructive and offer some suggestions or reflections on what could be improved or didn't work. Thanks :)
