How to Bake a Perfect Life by Barbara O'Neal
4.0
I enjoyed this overall, despite some flat writing here and there. It was a fast, easy read, with family issues and dynamics.
Loved the character of Katie and how she developed an interest in gardening. It was nice to see a teenager spending her time on something so productive, without whining about hard work. I really felt for her and the hard life she has lived. I rooted for her to have a happy ending.
I really like how the author handled the part about soldiers coming back from the war and how some of them are affected, either becoming suicidal or turning to drugs, especially the ones who are wounded.
I forgot to mention that I really enjoyed reading all about the bread making and the bread recipes that were sprinkled throughout this book. I have to say, this book made me hungry!
