Book Reviews of Bread Alone

I really liked the book, and quick read for me. Any woman who has dealt with a cheating husband can relate to hitting rock bottom and then rising again. Lots of good recipes throughout the book.

An enjoyable read, unlike the typical watered down chick lit, I found this to be an intelligent novel with an interesting spin.

This is one of those books where you like the characters early on, and they make relationships more than "just friends...." closer to family. I like the bakery setting and it was an easy read, but the characters stayed with me awhile after.... which is one my markers of a good book.

Totally wonderful book...one of those, "I'm goona relax today and read a good book", I just didn't want to put it down. I just loved the setting the writing..the story...everything.

Sweet, engaging book; for anyone who has had a broken heart.
