I loved that it leaned more “inspired by” than “strict retelling,” which I know not everyone enjoys, but for me is a great mix of familiarity with a little originality, and tops it off with a (satisfying) scavenger hunt for recognizable details. To everyone else, it was harmless scribbles. The meaning clear to those it was meant for. “The syntax of prejudice – threaded into conversation with the perfect pauses and facial expressions – was like ciphers and spy codes. But, of course, those unfriendly exteriors are hiding some soft hearts, and with time DJ and Trisha realize maybe they were both wrong about the other.
And the misconceptions and assumptions only grow from there. When they finally bump into each other, and before realizing who the other is, their first impressions are…less than stellar. So before they ever meet, DJ and Trisha’s lives are deeply intertwined. And as it turns out, Trisha herself is the only surgeon with a chance of successfully operating on his sister’s tumor. A friend of his from culinary school has given him a shot at regaining income after the move by catering a political event for her cousin, who happens to be Trisha’s younger brother.
DJ has just quit his high-profile chef’s position in order to move and support his sister in-person as she faces a debilitating choice about treating a brain tumor. Though she’s on rocky terms with some of her family over a youthful mistake, she is still close with the rest of her tight-knit (and very well-off) family. Trisha Raje is a rockstar neurosurgeon, and she knows it.
