Reviews

The book is structured in an entertaining way with the reader eager to get to each new letter in this scavenger hunt… Asa Marin brings a high degree of food writing to the page, and, in the spirit of Jenny Colgan and Nora Ephron, you’re rewarded with recipes at the end… Characters are well developed, and the main three characters are very compelling. … the perfect read to take on vacation…
