The Critic Next Door
by Nora Vance · Ongoing · 4 chapters · ★ 4.3 (46 ratings)
Wren Callahan spent three years building Marrow into the best small restaurant in the city — right up until a scathing review from the anonymous food critic known only as "The Fork" nearly closed her doors for good. Now The Fork has moved into the apartment across the hall, and Wren has no idea her infuriating new neighbor, Theo Marsh, is the man who tried to ruin her. He doesn't know she's the chef he can't stop thinking about, either. Somewhere between shared elevator rides, borrowed sugar, and the worst-kept secret in the building, two people who are supposed to hate each other start to want exactly the opposite.
