This book was a decent light summer read. Yes, I teared up a couple of times when the story took an unabashed "tug-on-the-heart-strings" turn. It was enjoyable to have a story about the inter-connected-ness of a small town. Still, this was not high-hitting literature. It was written well enough, but the most memorable feature of the book is the bread recipe itself (yes, I'm gonna give it a whirl. You may start pitying my friends now, especially if it reaches mammoth proportions like in the book)

I am having such conflicting thoughts on this book and I really hope to write one of my sarcastic rants (think "The Ruins" or "Harper's Island", those of you who have seen my posts in various groups about the two) about some of the plot points.

A good read overall. Although, the book could have been condensed without so much going on and on. I am definitely going to be baking this bread and seeing what the fuss is about.
This is the kind of feel-good novel I love to read. Even shed a few tears at the end . . . I really enjoyed reading about the characters of Avalon and look forward to reading more by Darien Gee. Oh, and I think I might do the starter for the Amish Bread!!
This is a nice, light read. Not my favorite but it was pretty good!
