review 1: I really enjoyed this charming, easy read. Although obviously not possessing Portia's ability to "know" what special dish/recipe is needed in certain situations ahead of time, I can definitely relate to certain foods being a part of a special memory or place in my own life. At times, Portia's visions were downright mouth-watering! The inclusion of some of these recipes was a nice touch at the end of the book. Might have to try a couple myself! Although I didn't feel an especial connection to any of the characters, I did have some favorites with Ariel being my first. I found her quite lovable, witty, and definitely in need of a great big hug! Marcus and Stanley were very endearing and I would have liked to have seen a bit more of them earlier in the book. They provide... mored a great example of a positive, loving relationship.
review 2: This book was such a confusing disappointment. Was it intended to by a YA book or a bad romance? The lead male character, Gabe (Gabriel) was completely unlikable. In fact, all the male characters - save for the gay next door neighbours - we 'bad guys' or otherwise unlikable. All in all this book was a waste of my time - it has such a great premise that got lost in all the outside drama. Had the book focused on the Glass sisters - and had there been less of the teenage Kane sister drama, this book might have gotten an extra star. less
