Thanks, Forever, for the arc! 

 

Adib Khorram’s adult romcom debut, I’LL HAVE WHAT HE’S HAVING, is fantastic! It starts with a case of mistaken identity that blooms into a beautiful queer romance story. You can’t help but want to cheer on Farzan and David in this book. They each have such strong personal arcs and a strong relationship arc that you want them to succeed and be happy! 

 

The mistaken identity happens because, after a breakup, Farzan, wanting French fries and wine, ends up at the restaurant where David is the sommelier. How much more relatable can you get to Farzan - seeking comfort in French fries? They do wonders for the heart. From that point on, I loved Farzan. I loved that we learned so much about his Iranian American culture throughout the book, especially the food. This book will make you hungry! 

 

The book’s communication aspect was perfect. David and Farzan were such good communicators—it was refreshing. I also loved that this rolled over to the consent side of sex, and they were open and honest with one another. Again, this was refreshing and adult, and it made the scenes steamier because it showed they cared. 

 

Each couple had a set of wonderful friends that you meet in the books. I found them hilarious, caring, and able to tell it like it is—exactly what both of them need. I hope it’s not the last we see of the friend groups because I loved their sassy ways and would love to hear their stories! 

 

Oh! One last thing: I love that they’re older. It’s always nice to read a romance novel when the characters are in their 30s. 

 

Spending time with Farzan and David in this romcom book was happiness, made me quite hungry, and want to be a wine sommelier. I’m so impressed with all the work David did for that job! I recommend it if you are looking for a fantastic, fun read!
