This is a sweet story about family and community, and how food can bring them together. Magic is weaved into the story, particularly around food, similiar to Amy Reichert or some of Aimee Bender's work. (The former wrote a blurb for the cover of this book). I thought the author took the magic thing a bit too far, making the ending cheesy. Otherwise, this was a light and uplifting read with descriptions of food that will make you miss dim sum cart service.... stupid pandemic!
