Creative book (part tall tale, part romance, part comedy, part tragedy, part cookbook) and not like other books I've read, but it did have a little too much "romance novel" in it for me. If you don't mind that it's a good read.
I feel like I've read so many books lately with at least one really horrible parent in it. This is another one. That Mama Elena is horrible, even in death!
