I have read My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century by this author and when I heard she was writing an adult book I was really curious about this. The blurb sounded good too so I picked it up. When I started this book I was a bit afraid it was going to be a typical romance book, but I ended up really liking it.This book is weet and filled with love, romance and food. After a bit cliche start and a sort of insta love (they know each other from childhood, but as you don't get to read how they first met each other and fall in love) I wasn't sure if this would be a book for me. After the first few chapters I couldn't put the book down anymore and I wanted to keep reading. Okay so the story is a bit predictable in general, but it also has lots of little surprises and I liked the writing style.There is a scene towards the end of the book that I didn't like, although I do realize it was nessecary for the characters. I also liked the food aspect and the setting. The ending was great and I almost had tears in my eyes, it was really romantic.The characters are also great, although I did felt like we didn't get to know some of the side characters really well. There will be 2 more books in this series so I hope we wil get to know some characters better then, like Colby her brother and sister. This book focusses mostly on Colby, Jason and Emma. I have to say I love Emma, there aren't many books I've read where one of the main characters has a child, but I have to say it really worked in this book.To conclude: this book is filled with romance, love and food. I really enjoyed the story and the writing style, although the story is a bit predictable sometimes.
