I got tired of waiting for this novel from the St. Louis
Public Library, so I read Book 2 in the “Two Blue Doors” trilogy, Reservations for Two a while back. I
had a love/hate relationship with that one. I posted reviews for it, so you can go peek at
my thought, if you so desire.
Still I was interested in reading Book 1 so I could get the
backstory. Basically it’s the story of
Juliette and Neil’s long-distance romance. All the other plot points from Book
2 are here: The passing of Juliette’s beloved grandmother, her mother’s cancer
diagnosis, the introduction of Juliette’s family members, and the restaurant
world/food writing world that Juliette loves.
It becomes clear the how and why of Juliette learning that
the man she called Grandfather may not be her biological ancestor. Still, I
think I’m going to have to wait for Book 3 (Coming May 2016, according to the
end of Book 2) to have this issue resolved.
I’m glad I read Book 2 first. Maybe because A Table by the Window didn’t pull me in as much. However, I was familiar with the characters, the plot, and the writing style so that may have had something to do with it.
