North of Happy by Adi Alsaid
His whole life has been mapped out for him…
Carlos Portillo lives a happy life in Mexico with his wealthy family. He doesn't break rules and always does what is expected of him. He loves to cook, but thereis no way are his parents going to let him follow his passion. When his older brother is killed, Carlos begins to hear his brother's voice (a dose of Magical Realism) pushing him to question their parents' plans. Carlos runs away to the United States, learns to deal with his grief, finds love, and his true passion, cooking. If you have ever worked in a restaurant (or think you might want to) this story rings true!
