In the culinary journey spanning three Tell Me More books by Trebbiano, book one sees the protagonist break free from familial ties to pursue his dream, rapidly ascending the ranks to chef positions in prestigious hotels, navigating through mentorship, management, and rivalry. Book two sees him leading food and beverage services on cruise ships, implementing improvements while grappling with embezzlement scandals. Book three thrusts him into the challenge of avoiding the inevitable collision that comes with change, but getting ahead in the industry and further standing out in an already forward-moving career trajectory. Still, in the throes of work and the desire to continue to rise, there must be time for love and, finally, a nuclear family, while he hopes to weather the storms of corruption.

The most exciting part for me in this installment of Tell Me More is the relationship Trebbiano builds between our protagonist and Steffi, who was born in Barbados. A Monday night escapade leads to an unexpected proposal and spur-of-the-moment wedding plans, blending tradition with spontaneity. From covert wedding arrangements to heartfelt farewells, I liked the prospect of the pair embarking on their new life together. From what I have read in Trebbiano's work, the hospitality industry is hard professionally and lonely personally, since long periods are spent away from family in work. Finally, we get to see what degree of normal can be achieved in a relationship that survives in the most unusual construct. Trebbiano's writing is simple and straightforward, and not always easy to follow, but now at book three, I'm used to it and ready for the next adventure.
