The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake-Aimee Bender


I just finished this book and it was so good. Very different. This book features a girl Rose who can taste emotions in food. She tastes her mother's dissatisfaction in a birthday cake, can tell that a chef in a French bistro was feeling rushed and sad while making a quiche and even discovers that her mother is having an affair from the peculiar mix of flavors in a roast beef. She feels very burdened by her ability. it is a very interesting read.
