This week's review is
The Particular sadness of Lemon Cake
by Aimee Bender
The story follows Rose, who at a young age discovers that when she eats foods she can "feel" or "sense" the feelings and emotions of the people who made it. Of course no one believes her, and as she ages it becomes a skill that is hard to deal with. When eating her mother's cooking she learns secrets that she would rather not know. Dealing with this affliction she turns to processed vending machine foods.
I really liked this book, and it had you wondering about the people in your life and how sometimes you don't really know the people who are closest to you, and how hard it could be to love them if you really did "know" them.
No grandiosity, just a simple sweet and interesting story. Definitely a recommended read
