I would not recommend this book. I feel like there was some name dropping to pull interest, but the main character is toxic and immature, and the love story is like a teenager wrote it. Maybe that's the crowd it's meant for, I'm not sure. I appreciate some of the storyline line, but this is poorly organized and a bit overdramatic without the effective buildup.

I absolutely loved this book!!

I like this book. I thought it was really sweet. Excellent narrator

It was an entertaining book, easy to listen. But I didn’t feel the chemistry with the main love characters. The relationship with the family besides her grandmother felt also very limited.

Great

fun listen

Bored couldn’t finish it

Second time listening to this book I really enjoy it. I wish she’d write a sequel to it. That would be fun. But an enjoyable listen, and the author is very good and the narrator is even better.

7 chapters in and I am confused.

Super entertaining!

The idea is cute.. The execution could have been more nuanced with fewer cliches and familiar tropes.

3.5 Going through my own recent losses made this book both better and worse. I wouldn't exactly theme it as magical Gilmore Girls, but I can say the main character annoyed me in the same way Rory did now that I'm an adult. I do enjoy a book with recipes, and plan to try making some of the recipes with intention. Thanks for hurting me, and then hurting me more each time I thought there was going to be a less heavy moment at the next chapter. Would re-read when in a different headspace

Finished this book in 2 days. Light read and entertaining story

I did not care for this book at all. I liked the magical elements tied in with her baking, but overall I was just bored.

A fun, magical read with recipes at the end of each chapter. Loved it!

One of my favorite books of the year! I couldn't stop listening. I love the recipes and the talk about oils and herbs.

What a fascinating and comforting story.

I selected this as my free VIP novel and was pleasantly surprised. It was a simple story about love and family and I thought, while generally predictable, it was sweet and kept my interest. I finished it in 2 days!

All in all it was a decent read in it's entirety. It gave me "practical magic" vibes. Honestly I think had there been male and female narration it would had been better. I think the love story could have been a bit better. The main character seemed a little immature in my opinion but the other characters where well formed.

The only thing that kept me listening was the narrator's skill with the different characters. The storyline had lots of potential. However, I was let down by how it played out. It seemed very fragmented and bland. As a baker, I appreciated the unique integration of recipes within the chapters, but that didn't save it from being mediocre.

it was a cute story but not great
