At 41, Dee Nakamura has spent twenty-two years writing about other people's tables... until a wine-fueled midnight Twitter thread about Brandons (you know the ones) goes mega-viral overnight.
Suddenly she has a book deal, a six-month leave, and one summer to chase the nine restaurants that taught her what it really means to be hungry again.
From the tiny Tokyo ramen alley where she fell in love with food at twenty-two, to her grandmother's Honolulu kitchen, the Greenwich Village café where she first ate alone in New York, a hidden Paris bistro, and the three-Michelin-star table where her marriage actually ended - Dee is finally writing the story she's been avoiding for years.
Tender, funny, wise, and deliciously honest, The Comeback Summer is for every woman over forty who's been told her best season is behind her. It's about appetite - for food, for love, for life - and the moment you remember you still have one.
Perfect for fans of Lessons in Chemistry, The Midnight Library, and Ruth Reichl. One viral thread. One unforgettable summer. One woman remembering she's still hungry.
