Finished Aftertaste. It was a 5⭐️. It deals with grief, memory & love so beautifully that it had me crying at multiple points throughout the book. Complete review coming soon. Thank you to @netgalley.bsky.social , Simon & Schuster and @darialavelleauthor.bsky.social for the arc. #booksky #arcreader

At times like this, there’s nothing like friendly faces and transporting stories…so Story Hour brought two favorite writers back to read for us! Daria Lavelle and Tobi Ogundiran join us Wednesday at 7:00 PST. You can, too! @darialavelleauthor.bsky.social @tobiogundiran.com www.storyhour2020.com
Head-and-shoulders color photo of Daria Lavelle, a fair-skinned woman with dark eyes and long, ash-blonde hair. She wears a black lace top with a high collar and a pink skirt. She stands outside, near a stone wall. With her face in three-quarter view, she looks directly into the camera and beams sunnily. Head-and-shoulders color photo of Tobi Ogundiran, a Black man with short, black hair and a matching short, full beard and mustache. He wears a black button-up, a bracelet of white beads, a watch with a metal band, and metal-rimmed aviator sunglasses that are taking on enough sun that you can see his dark eyes through them. Trees are visible in the distance. He rests both elbows on a green picnic table in front of him and sits with his fingers laced together. He looks directly into the camera with serious eyes and a tiny smile.

Described as a bittersweet cocktail of humour and heart, Aftertaste is an imaginative odyssey through food and love, life and death: the things that sustain us, connect us, transport us, and remind us who we are.

Thanks for the sampler @darialavelleauthor.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

I forgot to post this here, but this book! Incredibly sensual, romantic and devastating. @darialavelleauthor.bsky.social makes food and taste the most beautiful thing in the world! And did I mention there’s ghosts too? Just a perfect book! @simonandschuster.bsky.social
