"In a Blue Moon" by Ilana Tan

Hello again ……

This time around I decided to share my number one favorite book which I’ve reread for more than ten times and it’s called “In a Blue Moon” by my favorite author also Ilana Tan.

It is all started when Sophie Wilson, a girl who runs her own tartlet outlet called A Piece of Cake met Lucas Ford, the only person she wishes to never ever see again after what he did during their high school time. In fact, Sophie has always had this hatred feeling against Lucas, a top and famous chef of Ramses, a fancy and very well-known restaurant in New York.

The two met again after ten years at a wedding of Spencer Wilson, Sophie’s brother. Lucas’ grandfather, Gordon Ford, attends the wedding ceremony for he is a close friend to Thomas Wilson, Sophie’s grandfather. When the eccentric old man named Gordon met Sophie for the first time, he decided that Sophie will be the only fiancée for his grandson Lucas and when this old man made his mind he would do whatever it takes to make it happen.

When Lucas and Sophie met again after ten years apart, the famous chef felt the same way when he first knew Sophie in the high school, something he never felt to any other girl before. He knew that Sophie still hated him and for that he tried so many ways hoping that girl would accept his apology. With Gordon as his reason, Lucas convinced Sophie that they should met each other to ensure that their grandfathers no longer involved in their relationship and Sophie finally agreed.

After couples of meeting, couples of coincidence encounters and couples of text messages, Sophie finally remembered the feeling she used to have when she looked at Lucas’ eyes. The two were also faced by the presences of Miranda, Lucas’ model friend who consider herself to be the only girl for Lucas, and Adrian Graves, Sophie’s ex-boyfriend.

What I love about this book is that each character in this book is so different yet interesting and real at the same time. The author also successfully describes New York where the story takes place. Each of the story’s character is so mature.

For you who haven’t read this book, I highly recommend it for you. Me myself still enjoy reading it even though I’ve reread the book several times. For addition, Ilana Tan is a mysterious author since all of the books written by this author never mentioned anything about the author’s profile.

Two of Ilana Tan’s books that have been made into big screen are “Sunshines Becomes You” and “Winter in Tokyo”.
