A Table by the Window
Wow! I am so glad I read this book. At first, I had a really difficult time getting into it. Of course part of that could have been because I am nearing the end of my school year and things tend to get a little crazy so reading for pleasure gets pushed down the "to-do" list. Thankfully, I finished the book and can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series.
Hillary Manton Lodge did an excellent job writing this book. As I said before, I did have a hard time getting into the book, but once I did I was hooked. In fact, I started the book at 10:00 Friday night and finished at 7:00 Saturday night. (No, I did not pull an all-nighter to read this book) The story was simply captivating.
Juliette D'Alisa, the main character, finds herself in the midst of many struggles. Her job, her family, and her love life, or lack there of, are all causing her stress and confusion. She finds relief in cooking and Jesus. A nice little touch to this book is that at the end of the chapters a recipe, for something made in the story, is left for the reader to try and enjoy.
I really did enjoy this book. I do not typically like to read romances, but this one had plenty of other things to focus on that they romance did not seem to dominate. The book ends abruptly and with a cliffhanger, so I am extremely excited about getting the next book soon. I received this book for free from the publisher's Blogging for Books program in exchange for this review.
