(Cuz ain’t that what befalls almost every other “love-interest” guy in books these days.)Ģ) Rose is the most low-confidence girl EVER in the history of eternal EVER. You know, I actually thought that the guy would have a bigger role later in the book, and that whatever heroic deed he did, him and Rose would actually start to fall in love or whatever. If you asked me, that girl is friggin obSESSED with that guy, whatever his name is, (I think it was D something.) Like hello Rose, here’s a bright idea: Why don’t you actually take action and DO something about it, instead of having these ridiculous daydreams!!! She’d be like “Oh if we were boyfriend and girlfriend, we’d stand on top of the highest hill and look down at the town with the wind breezing about us” (like that’s romantic) or “I’M NOT PRETTY ENOUGH FOR HIM TO LIKE ME” or “I wanted to shove Love Muffins down his throat as fast as I can so he’d love me” or “I WANT HIM TO TAKE ME OUT ON A DATE THIS INSTANT!!!” or “He smells like soap and dreams” (who the FRICK smells like DREAMS) or “I’M NOT PRETTY ENOUGH FOR HIM TO LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Candymakers.īut I have to say, there were three things I didn’t like (possible spoilers):ġ) Throughout the entire book, Rose had these stupid fantasies and just plain STUPID REMARKS about her crush and her.
It had suspense and magic, and was easy to read.

Reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Candymakers. LONG AND EXTENSIVE REVIEW WITH SEVERE CRITICISM 3.5 stars I reeeeally enjoyed this book. Kathryn Littlewood’s culinary caper blends rich emotional flavor with truly magical wit, yielding one heaping portion of hilarious family adventure.more So Rose and her siblings experiment with just a couple of recipes from the forbidden Cookery Booke.Ī few Love Muffins and a few dozen Cookies of Truth couldn’t cause too much trouble. Soon boring, non-magical recipes feel like life before Aunt Lily-a lot less fun. “Aunt” Lily rides a motorcycle, wears purple sequins, and whips up exotic (but delicious) dishes for dinner.
Rose and her siblings are supposed to keep the Cookery Booke under lock and whisk-shaped key while their parents are out of town, but then a mysterious stranger shows up. It’s the Bliss Cookery Booke-an ancient, leather-bound volume of enchanted recipes like Stone Sleep Snickerdoodles and Singing Gingersnaps. “Aunt” Lily rides a motorc Rosemary Bliss’s family has a secret.
