Laina Villeneuve Why Laina loves this book

All of the pieces fit together beautifully in this book. I loved the food and how each of the characters taught the other something key to love.

Second, given how terrible her romantic track record is, falling in love isn't in the cards for her. And third, Christmas only brings her bad luck - being broken up with not once, not twice, but three times during the holidays is proof enough of that.
