3.5 stars

This book made me hungry. When murder strikes at Lila’s family restaurant, she is quickly blamed for the crime. It’s up to her to try and piece together the clues before she goes to jail for something she didn’t do.

What I liked:

- The family relationship between the main character and her family

-Filipino representation

-the humor


What didn’t work for me:

-the over abundance of food descriptions ( I don’t mind food being described, but almost every chapter had 1-2 dishes being described in heavy detail)

-the mystery didn’t hook me. I didn’t feel like the pieces were falling into place.
