![]() The way her older sister points her back to God time and again is clear and wonderful. While we only see Nicole’s letters (I so wanted to see the others), it is clear that she and her older sister have a loving relationship. I mean, who doesn’t love cooking mishaps and a bit of family drama? Nicole is an overwhelmed sixteen-year-old whose mission is to keep from making a disaster of her new responsibility in the kitchen. Told in the form of letters, this was such a cute short story. To sum up, this short story is definitely worth the read, and my rating is based on personal preference, not the actual quality of the book itself. Maybe that's because you can't really measure a 'dash of salt.' I can't tell you how many salty cookies I've consumed. I've made them fifty times, but without fail, I get something wrong every.

Other than that, this was a really great story, light and entertaining. However, *clears throat awkwardly* this is a sensitive place for me, so. I also found myself annoyed at Nicole for buckling in to Erin as if she's some all-knowing goddess of wisdom with unrealistic expectations of a sixteen-year-old girl who has to cook (horror of horrors!). and I don't think Nicole really needed mothering to begin with. Perhaps I read her wrong, or perhaps I'm just too independent, but it felt to me like she was over-mothering Nicole. I enjoyed it and finished it in an afternoon. ![]()
