Young adults

little waitressing terms the author included, it made me feel even more personally connected with Hope

a little lacking emotion-wise when mentionining Gleason Bale

Smile and cry at the same time and wonder just how many people are there in the world like G.T.

Touched, loved

adds personal touch and appeals to the readers

this book is very inspirational

it might sound too kitty-ish

Addie is drawn out as a headstrong, cooking-loving, Hope-loving lady but her love with G.T. is very unexpected and sort of lacking in emotion area. It's like they were cooking one day and then the other they completely changed without warning and went on a date..Hope and Braverman's relationship was sorta...without that much emotion for a "love". The author did a very good job though of touching the softest spot of my heart with the story plot twists and it was just so sweet overall. I recommend it, but don't get your "hopes" up too much...no pun intended.
