What a a beautiful and yes, delicious collection of stories that have been told with the passion I have not seen in a writer for years!

This book is really a collection of relatable and inspiring stories, our stories, your story. No matter what walk of life you are living in, you will relate to this beautiful collection.
I can't wait for her next book!

Not for me
I think my expectations were way too high, but I just couldn't get into this. I liked the idea behind it, but found the characters a bit vacuous and the stories very tropey.
