Beautiful photographs. I loved reading about the recipes and their origins and the descriptions and looking at the photographs but I don't know that I'd make the recipes themselves.

Beautiful picture book about how there's always more to a situation or to someone's feelings that we can't see through our own eyes.

This is one of those rare thrillers that would be a great choice for a book club to discuss! Don't get me wrong. Thrillers are so fun to read but they aren't usually books that book clubs can really dive into. What Happened to Nina? has so many layers to it. A book club could discuss it for along time.

As a working parent, this was humorous and informative and it made me reflect on my current situation and think about the future - especially 8 years into the future when my kids are the same age hers were when she wrote this book.

Low on steam but a super cute friends to lovers, fake dating story. The friends of the main characters reminded me of the Bromance Book Club guys. That’s a good thing :)

I'm not going to write much so I don't ruin anything, this was an immersive and entertaining thriller! I would hand this to fans of Lisa Jewell and Lisa Unger and Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.
