❤️ loved this book because...
This book takes you to places where its cold, or hot, or humid in a way so that you can actually feel the wind and the rain. You move along with the characters in their lives into some worlds that will probably feel unfamiliar, but somehow quickly feel like home. There is a lot of cooking involved to welcome you, but there are no appologies and there is no guilt.
