I think now is a great time to dive in to talk about this awesome book, Once Upon a Breakfast Show.

For everyone listening I have, or everyone watching on YouTube, I've got this cover up on screen.

I've got my copy right here, dived through it in the last couple of days, really enjoyed it.

And now we're at the point of the show where it's time for the classic elevator

Once Upon a Breakfast Show follows the story of Emily Blake, one half of Melbourne's number one breakfast show, Mac and Blake in the Morning.

And Blake is notorious for sharing her pretty disastrous love life with her radio audience.

And I will say, for everyone listening who loves a good romantic comedy, what I love about this book is this is a book not just with chaos.
