The Lost Recipe for Happiness by Barbara O'Neal

3.0

This book has so many things that would usually cause me to give up: endless narration of flashbacks, weird time skips with jarring transitions or no transitions at all, and a couple of subplots that are brought up and then just ignored. Not in a "you can choose to imagine the characters' futures" way, but ignored as in the story sets up the subplot, the characters plan to address it, and then the book suddenly ends. As if the subplot never existed. But I finished the book, so there must be more than a little merit to it? I just can't seem to put my finger on exactly what.
