Girls Just Wanna Have Lunch

If it’s Wednesday and we’re headed to lunch, it can only mean one thing…it’s cleaning crew day and I need to be out of the house, right? This is another trendy spot that popped up on social media, so let’s see if it lives up to the hype. I don’t think they take reservations, so if you get there before me, grab a table. If I get there first, I’ll grab the table!

After a few more serious reads, it’s time to fluff it up a bit with some contemporary romance. Although this book is billed as #2 in the Wedding Planner series, Google assures me you don’t have to read the first one before reading this one. That said, I know I have a few over achievers in the crowd who are usually up for the challenge. Therefore, I’ll have prizes for anyone who reads both. ;-)

Here’s the summary: When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't the hard part—they've only been dating for five months, and he can’t even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans...

At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik’s rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He’s even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik’s social media blows up—in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilds of LA, a handsome doctor like Carlos can't be looking for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking the rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes...

This breakfast/lunch spot is located across from IKEA in the new complex known as The Bend. They pride themselves on making everything from scratch. They’ve invited the influencers to check it out; now it’s our turn! This place looks small, so I’m limiting our group to 8. Booze free establishment, but bottomless coffee, so that’s something.

I’m excited to try this place. It’s the cousin to Nittaya’s, which has some amazing Thai food. I think there might be two locations, but this is the Summerlin restaurant (sorry, Henderson ladies). It does not appear there’s a lot of seating, nor do they take reservations, but I’m sure we will make it work!
