This was a very enjoyable book. It opens with three separate "case histories" and as the book progresses, the cases become more and more entwined. Each case was different, but all dealt with loss, heartache, and the way we pick ourselves up after experiencing these things. It wasn't a sad book even though it was about personal tragedies. The author does solve all the mysteries, but she doesn't answer "why?" or give "closure". In that way, I guess it is more like real life than fiction.
Would recommend.
Smitten Kitchen is one of my favorite food blogs. The photos are gorgeous and the recipes are so good. I had to try making the Blueberry Crumb Bars. They came out very delicious. I need to go get some vanilla ice cream because, while these bars are quite good on their own, I (and my tasting committee of boyfriend and sister) felt they would benefit from ice cream or whipped cream. The recipe is really easy and doesn't require many ingredients. I might try making the crust in my food processor next time to make it even more simple.
