Description
Tommy Dees is in the weeds - restaurant speak for beyond overwhelmed. He's been working at Sunset Estates Retirement Community to get the experience he needs to attend one of the best culinary schools in the world. And he also needs a letter of recommendation from his sadistic manager. In exchange for the letter, Tommy has to meet three conditions - including train new-hire Gabriel.
Gabe, with the dimples and kind heart, who Tommy crushed on during summer camp at age ten and then never saw again. Unfortunately, Gabe doesn't remember Tommy at all. The training proves distracting as old feelings resurface, and the universe seems to be conspiring against them.
With the application deadline looming and Gabe on his mind, can Tommy keep it all together or is it a recipe for disaster?

Ein schönes Buch, mit einem unvorhersehbarem Ende, das ich mir sehr gewünscht habe.
Mir hat die Geschichte gut gefallen. Es werden viele Themen angesprochen, die 17 Jährige auf ihrem Weg ins Erwachsenleben begleiten. Was möchte ich für die Zukunft? Wer ist gut für mich? Wer bin ich eigentlich? Es dreht sich viel um Freundschaften, Verlust und Neuanfang. Irgendwann hatte ich eine leise Ahnung, in welche Richtung die Geschichte verläuft, hatte es mir sehr erhofft und wurde am Ende damit belohnt. Jedes andere Ende hätte mir wahrscheinlich nicht so gut gefallen. Aber so war es genau richtig.
“Maybe planning everything out like it was a recipe wasn’t always the easiest way to live your life.”
I LOVED “All That’s Left in the World.” It was the first book i‘ve read this year - and it was a book that made me fall in love with reading again. I was pretty excited to read another book by Erik J. Brown. “Lose you to find me” definitely didn’t disappoint. (In short: If Erik J. Brown writes it, I will read it.) The book started off great. I quickly fell in love with the characters and loved the dynamic between Tommy and Gabe. I also liked the cooking facts. I didn't like that Vic was portrayed as just the "villain" and "bad guy" of the story. It could have been different. Also the cheating aspect was NOT IT. The ending was so unexpected, but in a good way. I didn’t consider this possible outcome while reading. The cover and blurb (description of a book) give the impression that this is going to be a love story, and while there is a love story, it wasn't really the focus. It was more about finding yourself (hey, maybe the title should have tipped me off to that, lol).
Als ich zur Hälfte durch war, hatte ich sehr spezielle Wünsche, wie dieses Buch enden sollte und war mir sicher, dass es nicht passieren würde. Der Autor hat mich eines besseren belehrt. Eine sehr unvorhersehbare Geschichte mit einem breiten Repertoire an tollen Figuren. Liebe. CW: Unfreiwilliges Outing, Verlust von Gliedmaßen *hust*
