Ok, at first I did not like this book because Melissa did not tell anyone about the book. I found that dishonest and annoying. I was going to give up on the book. Then I took a look at the reviews and they were all fabulous. So, I gave it another chance. I am glad that I did. The book is so touching and moving. It tells three stories - Melissa's present along with her boyfriend Sam, her father Max's present, and their past with her mother, who had died of cancer when Melissa was 8 years old leaving behind a secret book of memories and recipes to be delivered to Melissa when she was 25 years old. The book and it's contents totally rock Melissa's world forcing her to face her grief and her memories. Her father also confronts his grief and his memories as he finds himself being incredibly interested in a woman who he works with. The story is heartbreaking and beautiful and so very touching. I received this book free to review from Netgalley and I highly recommend it.
