My first was this was going to be another book about some sisters opening a café or dinner, falling in love, and being successful. I wasn’t entirely wrong, but there was so much more to this story. The Glass Kitchen is a fun, sweet, and wonderful book about three sassy and unique sisters trying to make it in Manhattan. 

Portia Cuthcart is a great character. Her magical knowing powers kept me entertaining. As she figured out what to cook, not knowing why she had to cook that specific thing, I tried to guess before Linda Francis Lee let the reader in on the reason. Her relationship with Ariel and Miranda was just how a “friend” of their dad’s should be. She was the friend when they needed a friend and a mother when they needed a mother, never over stepping her boundaries. Now, her relationship with Gabriel was so complicated. The heat was obvious, the attraction a given, yet they managed to keep it separate from their everyday lives through most of the book. 


I loved this book. The characters were fun and lovable, the story was entertaining and mostly believable, and I could not put it down. This is a clever and well written book that is easy to read and enjoy.
