Interesting and sad to read. The story was a bit annoying at times, but had a good wholesome finish.
Moderate: Death, Death of parent, Pregnancy, Fire/Fire injury, and Injury/Injury detail

Overall, a good piece of magical realism. There were some things that came about too easily, and early on I was worried that it was going to become a strictly romance book. Roselle Lim did a good job balancing both elements. The pacing was a little slow for my tastes, but the descriptions of food were tantalizing. Some of the narration got redundant. But, there was a twist at the end I wasn't expecting (mostly because I kept forgetting about the mystery, by no fault of the author). Overall, a good read. It won't go down as one of my favorites of all time, but I'm glad I read it and would recommend it to others.
Graphic: Death and Death of parent
Moderate: Mental illness and Abandonment
Minor: Injury/Injury detail
