Those familiar with author Sonali Dev know that her books involve a lot of food, complicated family issues, and angst. Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors has all of these qualities, but the angst overwhelmed the romance to the point where I didn’t believe in the happy ending.

Note: “kinboyrole” may also be “kinboyHOLE” but I’m not entirely sure. Sleepy Sarah sans glasses is really, really not legible. Maybe that’s code in a language I haven’t learned yet?

So a friend of mine on Twitter read Season for Scandal upon my recommendation and FLIPPED OUT (well, for her she flipped out) and put it on her “Wow” shelf on GoodReads. I, being a nosy sort, wanted to know what else was on that shelf, and happily seeing it didn’t require me to remember my GR password (seriously I have no idea what it is), I had a look. Anyway, one of the eight books on … Continue reading Delicious by Sherry Thomas →
