This story was really cute! 

I LOVED Orion and how charming he was. Him and Lila were so cute together. They had such great mini adventures around England.

The food aspect of this book made me so hungry. I loved reading about Lila's culture and family in Miami as well as seeing her passion for cooking throughout the story.

I felt bad for both characters and the tragedies they were both dealing with in their lives. 

The reason that I am only giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were a lot of cheesy parts, and I didn't completely love Lila as a character. I found her to be quite prideful when it came to her baking skills. 

I did however like how much Lila got along with Orion and his friends. 

The ending wrapped up the story nicely, and I just love how sweet Orion was. Overall, a very good story with a lovely setting.
