This book took a long time to grow on me, but in the end I did enjoy it and shed many tears because it was an emotional ending. My main issue with the book was Isa's inner dialogue about her love interest because it got so annoying hearing her talk about how arrogant he seemed, how much she didn't want to like him and she could never be with him ... Like yeah, we get it.
I enjoyed how this book dealt with grief and learning to embrace the memories of your departed loved ones and how they live on in your actions. I thought it was beautiful. Likewise, Isa's journey into embracing her actual love for cooking for fun and realising she doesn't want to be in a the stressful life in a highly-esteemed restaurant.
Overall it was a good read, though I wish there had been less focus on the romance and that Isa had come to the realization she didn't want this life without the need for a white savior to push her into this realisation.
