This was only an ‘alright’ for me, for large parts of it I was just bored.

Glad to get to the end, which is a shame 🤔

This was an interesting book. I will say that I did have a hard time getting into this book. However, once I did I thought the book was good.

This was a wonderful book. It was a recipe book that brought everyone back together again. Because my mother is French, I imagined this was my family. And it is the first book where I have seen the Matriarch called Meme, which is what I called my grandmother and my grandchildren now call me.

It was an interesting and modestly intriguing read, and yet... if you were to ask me to describe what the book was about, I'm not sure I could tell you...
