Reviews
A delicate romance, beautifully achieved.
I was completely charmed by this gentle, thoroughly engaging debut
A sweet and tender romance, that is also extremely funny
Despite living miles apart and having very different lifestyles, Eve and Jackson establish a friendship through their love of food, sharing recipes and snippets of their daily lives. The unexpected ending makes this a delicious read
Wry detachment and affection
