The Same Bright Stars by Ethan Joella
After running his family's restaurant for 30 years, Jack decides that the time is right to sell when a major restaurant chain makes him an outstanding offer. Yet he feels guilty, like he is letting down his employees in some way. In addition, one of his employees is stealing from the restaurant. Then his ex-fiancee returns to town to look after her dying mother. At the same time, Jack learns he has a grown son from a summer romance when he was in college. Suddenly his well-ordered life is in chaos.
Another quiet lovely novel from the author of A Quiet Life, about love, dealing with loss, and the connections we have to others. Read this, and also The Wedding People by Alison Espach. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy literary fiction.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC for review.
