Heartbake: A Bittersweet Memoir by Charlotte Ree

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

I was very close to giving this book five stars. A book that entwines home cooking and memoir is me in a book. The way she describes people and the art of cooking is amazing. She makes you appreciate each minute detail of both! You MUST cook some of the recipes in this book! 

In all honesty, the only thing about this book you didn’t like were some of the more sad/intense scenes (friendship breakups, online dating being the trenches, her second heartbreak). I couldn’t handle it at this time — my rating is based on my own emotional reaction, not the actual quality of the writing.
