Emily Belden is a native Chicagoan whose debut novel is a soapy take on the cutthroat, high-end restaurant biz in Chicago, specifically the West Loop. "Hot Mess" is a page-turner that follows twentysomething Allie Simon, who is dating an up-and-coming culinary genius, Benji Zane. This is a fun read filled with romance, drama and plenty of food. P.S. Emily is available for book club meetings. Want to know more? Send her an email to emilybelden@gmail.com.
