This tale of sisterhood, love, and how the Universe works in mysterious ways was satisfying from start to finish—it brought all my senses to life; I could feel the ocean, smell and taste the goodies in the bakery, and see and hear the characters as if they were old, familiar friends. These real, relatable women could be any of us if the circumstances were just right.
