I really like how the book reads like a recipe! When I read the synopsis, I wasn't sure if it was going to work - I don't generally like this sort of "character survey" - but it really does, and the book is touching and charming and sometimes surprising, and she occasionally has some very beautiful use of language, which made me want to keep reading to catch all of those. Each vignette is like an ingredient and she really stirs them all into an interesting dish. ]]> <![CDATA[Corrina added 'The Lost Recipe for Happiness']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75809534 to: The Lost Recipe for Happiness (Paperback) by Barbara O'Neal
I wanted to give this 3 stars but I couldn't because a) it has recipes :-) and b) the book just sucked me right in, maybe it was the odd combination of car accidents and ghosts and recipes and kitchen dynamics, I dunno... but it all worked, somehow, which is amazing. Great bathtub/escape for a couple of hours sort of read. ]]> <![CDATA[Corrina added 'Lush Life: A Biography of Billy Strayhorn']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71779273 to: Lush Life: A Biography of Billy Strayhorn (Paperback) by David Hajdu
