With the help of one of her brother's friends she tests herself and tries to understand the magnitude of this "gift". She tastes many things about her own family, secrets she wished she didn't know, but she also realizes there are some secrets her enhanced taste buds do not understand.
Again this type of story is not one I would usually read and I think I will have to change, and add books with a little fantasy to my preferred genres. This book was a little sad and depressing in places but the story moved right along and kept the pages turning. I don't want to give the whole storyline away, but I will say it ended sooner than I would have liked. As Rose started to understand her ability and was moving ahead with her life, the story ended and I feel there was a little more to tell. With that said, I did like this book.

I thought it started a little slow but the whole concept was so unique I just kept reading and reading.
I am glad to offer a giveaway because this may not be a book you would choose right away but after reading it, you are glad you did.
Thanks for the giveaway. Definitely a unique story.
I am a new subscriber. This book sounds really interesting! It reminds me a little of "The School of Essential Ingredients," which I loved. :)
