tiffschwartz 's review for:

Aftertaste by Daria Lavelle
4.75

"Snickers that won't satisfy." but this book will. This was such an addicting, hits all the feels (happy, love, grief, hunger, sad, hunger), with ghosts and salt. It was so unique with Konstantin being able to "communicate" with loved ones by tasting a favorite a memorable meal of those around him. Made me think about what I would enjoy if I got one more Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner with my grandparents.
The plot twist was not what I was expecting, truly kept me on my toes.

I appreciated the knowledge with the culinary arts because I dated a chef once upon a time and could see his reaction to the combinations.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for the e-arc
