This was truly a different book than I've ever read. This is about Kostya, who from a young age can taste favorite meals from deceased people. As an adult, he realizes that he can exactly replicate the recipe and bring back the ghost of a loved one for one meal. But are there repercussions to bringing back the dead? Very intriguing, lots of food references so if you're a foodie, this would be extra fun to read.

Such a unique story that touches on the afterlife in such a captivating way. Oh and the imagery while talking about the food… beautiful. Heartbreaking ending as well. Loved this story.
