the ex boyfriend

There is a small cafe in Tokyo where something unusual is brewing... After being dumped by her boyfriend, Momoko finds herself very drunk at a small cafe. Momoko shares the story of her ex-boyfriend with the Manager of the café and the other customers who happened to be there. As she tells her story, she goes into the kitchen of the café, and cooks her ex-boyfriend’s favorite dish, butter chicken curry. Together, they eat the dish and Momoko begins to feel better. Much better. The owner of the café loves the curry and Momoko’s story and they decide to hold a weekly Ex-Boyfriend’s Favorite Recipe Funeral Committee meeting at the café. Momoko begins to work at the café, and every Friday night at 10 pm, anybody with a bitter memory of a relationship and a dish associated with it, comes to the café, prepares the dish, shares the story, and together they eat the dish. Tears are shed, food is eaten, regrets and memories are devoured, thoughts of revenge dissolve. Together the diners purge the sadness and negativity. The pain of the relationship is dead and buried forever. Part confessional, part group therapy, part recovery, part cookbook.

Not even a little. As a child, Delia Merriweather believed with all her heart that she was a witch. Because all Merriweather women are witches. There s just one problem: none of them have any magic. As an adult, Delia no longer believes magic even exists. But, when she somehow accidentally breaks a hex and restores her family s powers, she s forced to accept a new reality: she is a witch. And maybe that s why the crushingly handsome guy next door has been looking at her like he s expecting her to fly off on a broomstick, cackling into the night. Just when Max thinks he s done keeping an eye on the bumbling, magic-less Merriweather women, he suddenly finds himself forced to help his neighbours learn to control their new magic before they out witches everywhere. And despite Delia s open suspicion of him, Max just can t tell whether his growing feelings for Delia are real, or if he s come under the spell of the most (cluelessly) powerful witch he s ever known. One thing s for certain: Delia s life is suddenly looking pretty magical . . .✨

Does it seem like everything is on fire, and one disaster follows another? Here s a small comfort: you re not the first to feel that way. If there s one thing that people throughout history have agreed on, it s that history wasn t going to be around for much longer.This book is about the apocalypse, and how humans have always believed it to be very f*cking nigh. Across thousands of years, we ll meet weird cults, failed prophets and mass panics, holy warriors leading revolts in anticipation of the last days, and suburbanites waiting for aliens to rescue them from a doomed Earth. We ll journey back to the worst period to be alive , as the world reeled from a simultaneous pandemic and climate crisis. And we ll look to the future to ask the unnerving question: how might it all end?But it s also a book about how we live in a world where catastrophe is always looming - whether it s a madman with a nuclear button or the slow burn of environmental collapse. Because when we talk about the end of the world, what we really mean is the end of our world.
