Ilustration As 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.

Alright book. Recipes though. :)Christina Baker Kline has a very readable, transparent writing style, spot-on dialogue, and characters I feel like I know. Angela Russo is a single, thirty-something event planner in New York. When an important charity event goes all wrong, she loses her job. She impulsively decides to move to Maine to pursue a new relationship with a sailing instructor she met on an online dating site. She befriends the owner of the local coffee shop and ends up working for him, convincing him to expand his
After reading Orphan Train( which was amazing ) I wanted to read more of Christina Baker Kline! This was a very nice , quick read - you can pretty much predict what was going to happen- but all in all a good read. Main character Angela, faces the real struggles you would expect from a journey of self discovery. Kline captures the charms of life in Coastal Maine beautifully and is able to make the harsh winters seem warm and cozy through her writing. A nice chick-lit book for sure!
This book felt a little too light-weight to me and the ending was somewhat abrupt.
I think, after three, I have given up on Christina Baker Kline novels. First one was wonderful, second one was one of the most boring books I've ever read, and this one was so uneven, in my opinion, it felt like it was authored by a group. Plus, when it describes the butcher block island in the kitchen on one page and a couple of pages later has the community gathered around the black granite island in the same kitchen...well, I don't think I'd trust any of the recipes included with this novel.
A quick read about a thirty year old woman trying to figure out her next steps in life, love, career, and environment after a mishap at work. She finds herself driving to Maine to stay with a man she met online and makes new friends and a new career along the way. The characters were cliche but humorous and the book ended before the story got anywhere.
