Preorder:
"Go on and treat yourself to this delicious page turner, revolving around a New York City restaurant with a supernatural component. Buchwald is a natural born storyteller and her characters hum with life, even when they're returning from the dead."
—Richard Grant
New York Times best-selling author of
A Race to the Bottom of Crazy
"The supernatural has a way of sounding sublime in the sparkling words of Laura Buchwald. Mix it with some romance and a healthy dash of mystery and you've got a feast on your hands. The Book of Reservations is another delicious chapter in the spellbinding tale of Josie Gray. I couldn't put down."
—Hannah Bos
co-creator of HBO’s Somebody Somewhere
"A cross between Ghosts and The Bear, this novel is set in a busy NYC restaurant that’s a hub for people on both sides of the veil. A lovable, eclectic cast of characters, and a protagonist who can talk to the dead, makes The Book of Reservations a moving and lively tale. Satisfying, page-turning and other-worldly.”
—Carlene O’Connor
