pickI am a fan of Viola Shipman books but I have to say this book did not pull me in at the beginning. However since I am a fan I kept reading and really came to like the story. A young woman is trying to find herself and through a special recipe box that has been passed down through the generations she not only finds her place in the world but also comes to a better understanding of her place in her family history.
pickI don't think I ever read this when it originally came out. Despite my love for Judy Blume. It's good. Definitely worth the hype.

pickI was drawn to this book because I loved both the title and the cover, and my instincts did not steer me wrong! Family secrets, lovable characters, gorgeous European settings, humor, and even a bit of romance. Totally enjoyable!

pickAlthough the heart of this story takes place during frosty December, the love will melt your all the ice in your veins! Friendships, romantic trysts, and the fated great love alll make a tricky love triangle with an emotional plot line. Great and easy one to devour
I would say I need a shower from the ick, but that reminds me of Margo‘s hot tub and no.
Are you there, God? It‘s me, Daria. Everyone in this book is bananas.

pickDelightful magical realism, featuring characters I could be friends with (except for one or two that I loved to hate). The main character was trying to overcome past tragedies, so she could begin to fully live life in the present, learn to trust herself, and look forward. A light-hearted, feel-good read.
This was my July #FictionalTraveler selection, for the #Water prompt.
This is my book club book for this month. I enjoyed reading it but here‘s the weird part. The book ended in the middle of the chapter that was the turning point of the story. There was about 25 pages & 3 chapters that were completely left out. There was no indication that the pages had been torn out. I had to borrow the book from a friend to finish it. I also ended up taking it back to the store & they did tell me that this does sometimes happen.
so-soWell, this was a strange Mrs. Robinson‘ish story. Mikala really does need better friends. I kept reading but didn‘t enjoy it. It was kind of icky. I‘m glad I didn‘t read EH‘s Nantucket books in publication order as this is Book 2 and I might have given up on the author with this effort. I have two more books to read before I can call the EH Nantucket series complete!
