Synopsis:
Just before her nineth birthday Rose discovers something off about herself as she is biting into a homemade lemon cake. She can taste the emotions of her Mother in every bite. She can taste the thoughts and feelings of those who prepare her food. From the sadness of her Mother to the rush of a restaurant cook. Rose has an older brother who she looks up to but his behavior is distant and then just bizarre as the story progresses.
My thoughts:SPOILER ALERT
Well shit. I wanted to like this book. I really tried liking this book, for 3/4 of this book I was on the firm side of like-age. Then Rose's brother Joseph turned into a chair. Yep, a folding chair to be exact. The whole first half of the book we learn about Rose and her awesome ability/ curse to taste the emotions of whomever is preparing the food or harvested the food she is eating. I liked Rose. I hated the Joseph character and what was done to him.
I don't recommend this book to anyone. It made me too mad.
While writing this review I am listening to Anderson Cooper 360
