Helpful Score: 1
I loved this book. If you like Italian cooking, the New Jersey flair for Italian slang, and resturants, and big Italian family neighborhoods, you will love this book.
Parts were very far fetched, such as how can Angelina while fighting her grieving heavy heart, cross town searching for gourmet ingredients, visiting 4 or 5 stores, get back home then made a scratch pasta, yeah, from flour and eggs...5 course dinner,including multilayered sauces, and combinations only seen in high end resturants- serve it to 6 people, visit with them, do the clean up...all in one day-6 days a week? Other than that wonder woman aspect, I loved the characters, and the growth each of them made throughout the story. There are some surprises, but they can be guessed at quite easily. These factors are very forgivable because the book is so warmly written, so full of fun and family, let alone the delicious food, food, food, it is a winner.
