Charming beauty and the beast ish retelling, with dragons and turtles and mouthwatering food descriptions. (Wish I was working on another cookbook!) art forgery, surprising friends and enemies, and wonderful depictions of how complicated love in families can be make this book for me. Romance was just ok, but the friendships are really where it’s at.
