About this listen
Maxine 'Max' Mayberry, an ad executive with writing ambitions, is holed up in a friend's apartment after discovering her long-term boyfriend in bed with another woman. If that wasn't bad enough, Max has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Enter Johnny: a cheeky yet charming Tinder pen pal and the perfect distraction. Together, Max and Johnny flirt and cook their way through The Laurent Family Cookbook (a recipe book from Max's ex-boyfriend's pretentious French family) without ever meeting in person.
The 'Fork Him' project starts as a joke, but soon transforms into something more meaningful as Max undergoes brain surgery, travels to Paris for a fresh start, and decides whether she believes in herself enough to chase the life - and the man - she really wants.

Funny, charming and the perfect escape
I downloaded this for my sister and I to listen to on a road trip to Canberra. The whole trip we were giggling and answering rhetorical questions in unison, yelling life advice into the car stereo to ‘Max’ and arguing about whether that chocolate soufflé would, in fact, be salvageable.
My sister is now cranky that the road trip wasn’t long enough for the whole book!
If you love food, travel, flat-pack furniture or love stories (or maybe all four), this is one that you are going to want to share with friends.

Loved it!
I devoured this book - I laughed, I cried, I felt all the feels.
The story is unique and engaging from start to finish, the characters are relatable and charming - Duck à l'Orange for Breakfast had everything I wanted and more.
Rose Flanagan is lovely to listen to - a book that lends itself really well to audio (I have returned many books because I couldn't stand listening to the narrator...)
Karina May is definitely on my list of favourite Aussie authors - I can't wait for her next book!

Very Cheesy
Way too cheesy for me. Characters were over the top and unrealistic. If you’re wanting an easy listen, could be for you but definitely not my thing.
