When her first love falls apart, a Filipina-Canadian foodie is devastated. To salvage their relationship, Maria joins a social-media cooking contest despite her family's advice to move on. Her efforts draw him back until he reveals his loyalty to his new girlfriend. Crushed, Maria uproots her life to move to Thailand to teach English. As her vibrant photos and contest posts catch her ex's interest, the feelings she tried to suppress resurface. 

The stress of being a new teacher and handling Adrian's mood swings pushes Maria to her breaking point. As her new friends, including her flirty next-door neighbour, encourage her to move on, she must decide between her ex's apologies and promises, a fling with her hot, commitment-phobic neighbour, or time alone to heal and find herself.     

More to Life is Book 1 in the More to Life series.
