Chef's Kiss Again

So you've landed the dream job and the dream boyfriend. Everything should be perfect . . . right?

Ben Cook seems to have it all. An awesome new cooking job at Cochon Doré, a steady writing gig, amazing roommates, and—best of all—super-dreamy boyfriend, Liam. Even better, reservations at the restaurant have skyrocketed thanks to Ben's recent viral article, and the staff is buzzing with excitement. But between the pressures of the growing restaurant, looming writing deadlines, and nosy parents, Ben is worried about making sure everything is perfect in his new relationship with Liam. When Ben can't quite figure out the perfect Halloween couples costume or the perfect Christmas plans, and Liam gets more and more overwhelmed with all the new responsibilities at Cochon, the new couple starts to grow distant rather than rely on each other. When pressure mounts and signals get crossed, will Ben and Liam be able to overcome their anxieties and learn that striving for love is better than striving for perfection?

Bringing back all the steamy recipes and steamy romance, join Ben and Liam in Chef's Kiss Again, the much-anticipated sequel to Alex Award–winning and Eisner- and GLAAD-nominated Chef's Kiss. Perfect for fans of Heartstopper and Check, Please!, experience the ups and downs of new love, new jobs, and new dreams. From food journalist, comic writer, and cookbook writer Jarrett Melendez (Young Men in Love, Persona: The Official Cookbook, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Official Cookbook, My Pokemon Baking Book) and Irene Flores (Shojo Fashion Manga Art School, Heavy Vinyl, Adventure Time) comes the next chapter in Ben and Liam's love story.
