Sommelier Julien Boire has a plan. He’s working at his aunt and uncle’s restaurant just until he can afford to take the course that will allow him to become a master sommelier, which he hopes will be his ticket to the life he’s always wanted. In the meantime, he’s focused on, well, staying focused and avoiding distractions. Distractions like the restaurant’s newest hire, bartender Greg Harlow. Greg’s already had a big life in a big city—he was a social-media-famous mixologist—and he’s still dealing with the financial fallout from its aftermath. Moving to eastern Pennsylvania, far from the temptations he left behind, should hopefully help him get his life back on track. At first glance, he and Julien seem to be total opposites. When a series of work mishaps and negative online reviews put the restaurant’s future at risk, they’re given an ultimatum: turn things around, or else. Will their new happy hour initiative prove they are a perfect pairing or a total disaster?
VERDICT Janovsky’s (The (Fake) Dating Game) latest is a work nemesis-to-lovers, “we’re just friends with benefits until we’re so much more” story, with two adorably awkward protagonists who it’s impossible not to root for.
