Summer, love and food
MANILA, Philippines - Summer may be months away but the latest offering from Summit Books is poised to become a delightful read, which promises to make the cold months sizzle with its many kilig moments — One Crazy Summer by Ines Bautista-Yao.
Set in Silay City, Negros Occidental, Tania is in for one summer adventure she will never forget. With a passion for cooking, Tania sets off to pursue a culinary career by taking her first internship at her aunt’s restaurant.
With best friends Rob and Mateo everything gets complicated. Will Tania choose her secret crush or her crush’s best bud?
Yao, a veteran writer for various magazines under Summit Media, says of her protagonist, “Tania is a sarcastic, moody girl who can create magic in the kitchen but isn’t confident about claiming her dream. But most of all, she’s really just afraid—of taking risks, of getting hurt, of falling in love. And she learns that in order to truly live, she has to learn to overcome all of that.”
One Crazy Summer also features Tania’s yummy recipes, which are actual creations of Liane Camus Bautista. Bautista also happens to be Yao’s mother, making One Crazy Summer a special project showcasing the talents of both mother and daughter.
One Crazy Summer is available in bookstores, newsstands, bookstores and supermarkets nationwide for only P175.
