If you've ever read a book like this where the author hasn't found their voice and are maybe trying too hard to make it seem authentic, it can be painful to read. It's necessary for the writer to have the right prose in order to send the reader on this journey. Reader's are amazed by the beautiful descriptions, the humor, the angst, and the vivid details provided in this novel by MW Lilly.

Some of us enjoy reading because you get to learn things that you've never even heard of if you're reading attentively. Lilly throws in a lot of informative details about things like French cooking and culture, and even a bit of La Belle Epoque. She also talks about Ganesha, and describes the symbolism of this deity.

Being optimistic and compassionate are recurring underlying themes in this story that help the protagonist get through the troubles she's experiencing.

This coming of age story is a great pick for anyone, and it comes highly recommended.
