I received this book as my first ever Goodreads win. I admit that I was skeptical at first, to be reading a book by a first time author, but I have to say that I am glad to be able to add it to my collection. The book is well-written in a simple, yet seemingly effortless manner. I loved Mira from beginning to end and the journey of the book is easy, a very good rainy afternoon read. Though this is her first novel, Mileti writes as though she has been producing published works for years. Her writing is comfortable and friendly. I particularly enjoy that she knows her field. I would've been sorely disappointed to have a book about a chef and restaurateur written by someone who is only guessing at the details. It is clear that she is a lover of food and the care that goes into preparing it. She also referenced my favorite chefs, which made the book even more endearing to me. I am looking forward to reading more of her books down the line.
