Acevedo never fails to impress me, and this one is no different. As a person who is wildly uninterested in having children, it was a wonder that she made me feel so much for this young mother and her child. Apart from that, I am a person who loves to cook and who uses food as a love language, so this book was straight up my street. A tiny bit predictable, but overall very enjoyable - which is a lot coming from me when talking about an audiobook.
