When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a
horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com
tropes. She's tasked with saving her Tita Rosie's failing restaurant, and she
has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and
judgment. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her
ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life
quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case.
With the cops treating her like she's the one and only suspect, and the shady
landlord looking to finally kick the Macapagal family out and resell the
storefront, Lila's left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation.
Armed with the nosy auntie network, her barista best bud, and her trusted
Dachshund, Longanisa, Lila takes on this tasty, twisted case and soon finds her
own neck on the chopping block… [fantastic fiction]
