Interesting. Rose can get the emotions of others through the food they cook/bake I really enjoyed this book.

i thought this book was beautiful in many ways, and it reminded me of how there is no escape from my emotions in the many relationships in my life. past experiences all collapse into the present, and it takes work to accept that.

i wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this book, but there are lovely things to find here for anyone looking to read it

That was by far the most bizarre book I've read. It had tones of the Night Circus in there but I wasn't expecting it based on the jacket cover. It was just weird.
