I love this book! It brought so many things to the table besides fantastic food. I am not a "foodie”. I am someone that does not like to cook, but the fact that the plot is tightly interwoven with recipes and cooking did not turn me off at all. (I recently read a book about someone going to a cooking school, which did bore me a bit!) This book has so much more than the love of cooking holding it together.The recipes blogs written by the characters within the pages of the book are more about how the food makes them feel, the memories that the food brings back to them, than about the actual preparing of the recipes. I think that is why I enjoyed the cooking parts so much.So many things are going on in the pages of this book. For much of the story, the reader is getting to know two very different women, separately, as they go about their lives. Since I knew the story would bring these two together at some point, I was not surprised that their worlds would indeed collide.The author did an amazing job of creating life-like fully formed characters. They are flawed and lovable, and I was happy and distraught for them during the course of the story. The cast of characters are varied in age, economic level, social status and the list could go on. The basic needs of all of them are the same, that (I think) is at the root of the book. They all have suffered loss, dealing with grief and heartache, but strive to achieve a good life. (A good life might be a different definition for each of them.)I have read one other book by this author and after I read it, I immediately purchased her other two books. It has taken me a while to read this, and I am sorry for that, since it was an emotional journey that I truly enjoyed taking. The story and its characters will not leave me for a long time. They definitely have taken a piece of my heart with them. I am wondering even as I write this, what lives they go on to live. That is a sign of a great story to me, when I finish a book, the story does not leave my mind.I definitely recommend this book!
