Food Spotlight: Iced Caramel Macchiato
The perfect food pairing for this novel is an iced caramel macchiato is the perfect match for this book—or really, any coffee you love. It’s the ideal drink for busy mornings on the go, whether you’re commuting to work by train, bus, or just need a little pick-me-up to start your day. The coffee reminded me of I See You because, like Zoe’s story, it’s centered around the daily routine of traveling to work—the comforting familiarity of a morning ritual that suddenly takes on a much darker meaning.
