This is the first Elizabeth Acevdeo book I have read and it is definitely not going to be the last! I loved being transported into this book - and I was there with all five senses! Most books do not do that, but I felt like I could smell and taste everything in this book! Spoiler alert: I ate anything and everything in sight while reading because this book made me SO hungry! I really wish our main character, Emoni, was real and that she was a real chef with a real restaurant because I would travel for that! This is a great escape book and one I definitely recommend!
