Commentary Concering Books The Way Life Should Be

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train, and the critically acclaimed author of Bird in Hand, comes a novel of love, risk, and self-discovery—includes a special PS section featuring insights, interviews, and more.

Angela can feel the clock ticking. She is single in New York City, stuck in a job she doesn’t want and a life that seems to have, somehow, just happened.  She inherited a flair for Italian cooking from her grandmother, but she never seems to have the time for it—these days, her oven holds only sweaters. Tacked to her office bulletin board is a photo from a magazine of a tidy cottage on the coast of Maine—a charming reminder of a life that could be hers, if she could only muster the courage to go after it.

On a hope and a chance, Angela decides to pack it all up and move to Maine, finding the nudge she needs in the dating profile of a handsome sailor who loves dogs and Italian food.  But her new home isn’t quite matching up with the fantasy. Far from everything familiar, Angela begins to rebuild her life from the ground up. Working at a local coffeehouse, she begins to discover the pleasures and secrets of her new small-town community and, in the process, realizes there’s really no such thing as the way life should be.

Criticize Appertaining To Books The Way Life Should Be

I've had this book in my tbr pile for years. Timing is everything because this was the perfect book for right now. Independence, self reflection, nostalgia, and a little romance sprikled on top.Angela had an unfortunate accident at work that had her seeking employment elsewhere. Yes, she was fired. Embarrassed by her mistake she decides to move to Maine with a guy she met on the internet and it's not as predictable as you might think. Maine is a long way from home and provides her with the space

I started reading this book, then put it aside, the first part was more like a Harlequin romance novel. Then I decided to give it another try and about halfway through, it got much better. If the whole book had been like the last half, I would have given it another star, because the second half was an engrossing and enjoyable read. Recipes included.

Ive always told my students that authors never give their characters the age of thirty-three accidentally. That is a purposeful age, heavy with allusion. Jesus was thirty-three when he was crucified, and ever since, the age has tremendous literary (not to mention religious) symbolism. When a writer tells us that a character is thirty-three, we must expect cataclysmic, significant changes to occur.Angela Russo is thirty-three.Shes also a woman desperate for even if she isnt perhaps aware of just

This was a good "summer" read. A kind of cornylove story but had some great Italian recipes I want to try.

This book was a very fast read. I was absorbed from page 1 and finished it very quickly. My only reservation was the end (this is not a spoiler). I just felt it ended too abruptly and I wanted more. Maybe theres a sequel in the works? I did like reading the cooking tips and the recipes that she shared, and theyre all listed neatly at the end of the book. If this doesnt interest you, you may have to zip through those parts. Im reading Orphan Train next, and from the reviews it appears that its a

Really loved this well told story of a young woman trying to find her "soul mate" and figure out what direction her life should go in. Wonderful descriptions of the art of cooking and the love of good food, relationships, the beautiful Maine coast in winter.So lovely except I felt the ending fell short - sort of abrupt the way the book ended, as is the author just got tired of writing and decided to move on to another project - she left us hanging. I really wanted to know what happened to

Sweet, easy read. Basic plot line revolves around a woman who is trying to figure out what to do with her life- she ends up on a little island in Maine (in winter no less- can't imagine how cold that must be!) because something just feels right. The author does a nice job of intertwining this journey with her relationship with her Italian grandmother, who is of course, a fantastic cook.I'm always pleased when an author cna successfully include cooking into a good story. Definitely would
