This book was so wonderful. Vera Wong is probably the most entertaining narrator I've ever had the pleasure of reading about. She is so witty and funny! And her heart is so big. Scooping up all of these lost souls like a mother duck. 

This was not at all what I expected, but that isn't a bad thing! It was so much better than anything I had previously anticipated. When I wasn't reading I was thinking about it constantly. I even dreamed about this book! 

I think this would make a FANTASTIC TV show. All of these characters are so easy to love. I adored the found family aspect so much. 

Reading about Vera was just so healing and comforting for someone who not only was very close to their grandmother, but is estranged from their mother. I loved that Vera always kept an open mind and was always eager to learn more.

HUGE warning for hunger pains. Everything Vera cook sounded mouth watering incredible. 

This might be my favorite book of the year in all honesty.
