Natalie reconnecting with her family and neighborhood is a really touching story and all the different recipes makes for a fun framing device as she goes through her neighbors. However, there's not much of a romance and as much as I love even the smallest of romantic subplots, I really do feel this would have benefitted from getting rid of the love interest entirely. I definitely still enjoyed the book, just wish that had been rid of and that it was marketed a little differently.
