Part mystery, part romance. The mystery and suspense is first rate, with twists and turns that’ll literally keep you off center and guessing. The ending to the mystery is completely a surprise and not who one would have thought guilty.

The romance between Will and Poppy left me with questionable feelings...at age twelve Poppy had her heart broken by a then fifteen year old Will. Twenty years later she’s still harboring such strong and ill feelings towards him, enough to want revenge (through her cooking) to destroy his heart like he did hers. How does anyone at age twelve love so deeply and be so angry about unrequited love and hold a grudge for twenty years. The young age for such a broken heart was not plausible and believable to me.

There some pretty amazing recipes of Poppy’s at the end of the story.
