This is a beautiful read. The stories of the characters are wonderfully intermixed and emotional. I felt so relaxed and reflective of my own life while reading this book. It’s one that can easily be reread and still hold the same emotion.

I loved every character
even the ones who have done wrong things in the past (I’m looking at you Helen…)
 

It’s a story about food on the surface level but it so much deeper than that. It is truly about reflecting on life and the ability to connect with all kinds of people in this world.
