Lovely collection. It made me hungry. Definitely older YA, not for a young teen.

This is a fun and mostly heart-warming collection of stories centred on the family-owned food businesses on Hungry Heart Row. The title fooled me into thinking they would all be contemporary romance fluff stories, when in actual fact there's a real mix of contemporary, thriller, magical realism and supernatural. The main theme throughout is obviously food, but most of the stories also have a large focus on family and the passions of the narrating characters. I didn't love every short story, but there were certainly many vibrant characters and interesting stories to keep me reading.

I'm not sure how this ended up on my TBR, but I'm so glad it was. This was a fantastic compilation of stories that wove together and made me so happy. It made me want to visit this magical area, good and bad.
