A splendid modern romance, where the rules of real life apply but love can still heal (okay, with a little assist from good pastries). The book cover features a blurb from author Susan Wiggs and that almost put me off because Wiggs can be so sappy. Don't let it mislead you! Elena is a wonderful, complex character, Flawed but redeemed in the end as she rebuilds her life. I liked the realism (Elena suffers chronic pain and can be cranky; her relationships with Ivan, Julian and his daughter can be rocky).
