Being able to taste people's emotions in food may at first be horrifying. But young, unassuming Rose Edelstein grows up learning to harness her gift as she becomes aware that there are secrets even her taste buds cannot discern.

God that was weird! Written/reads more like a short story rather than a novel. I was all set to give it 2 stars but the unsettling & interesting ending bumped it up a notch for me.
3.5 stars would be more accurate. I enjoyed the characters, story, and plot, but it simply felt like there was something missing that could have made it extraordinary.
I was certainly drawn to this book by its title. And even the premise, of a girl who can taste people's emotions in the food they prepare. The book is beautifully written and engrossing. But it is a strange to the point of confusing and a bit disturbing to me. And although the plot was unique, I didn't connect much with the characters. Interesting, but not my cup of tea (or slice of cake).
