About this listen

It’s been three years, two weeks and one day since Kate Shaw’s life changed forever. Three years, two weeks and one day that Kate has been angry – with herself and life.

But today is different. Different because Kate has finally taken the step she’s been avoiding…back into the kitchen. Now, what begins as a (disastrous) attempt to make pancakes becomes a culinary journey that is not only a love letter to someone so important to her, but also an unexpected means of connection to a community she never knew she had…

I loved every single moment of this book. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it!

Beautiful from start to finish!

I chose this on a whim for Book Club based on the idea of a series my 9 year old daughter watches where 3 friends bake and create recipes together. Thinking it’ll be an easy and light-hearted read…I was incredibly wrong and I’m pleased I was. This book touched on so many elements that are current in my life and could speak to many that are in yours too. Thank you Sue, this was the book I never knew I needed!

It did so much more!

Such a lovely book. Funny, emotional and sweet. Highly recommend although it did have me tearing up at one point.

Beautiful story

Very predictable! Too much repetition and constant talk of illness and death just too depressing! Not for me.

Quite Depressing!
