Very cute book. I really enjoyed the story and characters. Listened to the audio book which enhanced my enjoyment because it was read by an Irish lady that did a great job. Overall your normal love story with a few twists but the characters were in depth at times and really likable.

Cute, quirky love story. A little slow at first but it has an awesome ending.

Listening to this audio book. I am only a few chapters into the book and I LOVE it! Almost every page comes with a laugh or a smile. I love the way all of the quirky characters are brought together. At the end of the day, if I could give this book 5 1/2 stars, I would. The only drawback is the language, particular use of Jesus' name, which may offend.

I kinda loved this book. It was a bit predictable, but still, it made me cry. Sure, the male protagonist is ridiculous and has very few redeeming qualities, but I still loved the story.

Funny, quick, somewhat informative, but a remarkably poorly-written book. I guess that's what I should have expected since it was hailed as "like Chocolat, with cheese" [or something to that effect].
Enjoyable, but I wasn't moved to keep it, nor would I really tell anyone else to read it.
I found I wanted cheese the entire time I was reading it, though.

Quirky and so lovable. Reminds me of [a:Julia Stuart|1157469|Julia Stuart|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1348240209p2/1157469.jpg] a bit, who I love.

I first listened to this book years and years ago. I think I found the audiobook (in CD form) on sale somewhere and picked it up. I LOVE it. It's one of those lighthearted, feel-good kind of stories. It's not all fluff and rainbows, by any means -- there are some rough patches and hard life things -- but it's just...
I mean, at it's heart, it's a book about cheese, family (both blood and found family), love, and belonging. On working through the demons of the past and moving forward.
It's utterly delightful.
