I more than love this book

A totally different type of book from Jay and I think I love her even more now!  Retreat was sexy and dangerous. I loved these characters and especially loved watching Leo find herself again. Now I'm off to dive into the next book.

There aren't enough words and I'm not good enough of a writer to express how much I loved this book.  It was so sweet, I loved these characters and their story and I loved watching them fall in love and grow.  There are so many great messages in this book about having faith in yourself and staying true to yourself, and trusting in others, and allowing yourself to be the person you are and that its okay to not be perfect.  Omg.  I loved every single minute of this book...It was beautiful.  I read it in a day, thought about it for a day, and then read it again.  I didn't want to say goodbye to them!  Right up there in my top 10 favorites.

This is absolutely more than a reference book. The photography and script drew me into the actual era and times and made me want more. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. It's absolutely wonderful. I've read it three times now and each time I come away with new information and different feelings. I can honestly say that I have never felt this way about any other reference book I have read. I do hope you'll be writing more.

I love this book more than words can describe.
There are multiple story lines, that come together so perfectly and neatly in the end, but not in an obvious way.
Worth the time to read!

I don't easily fall in love with cookbooks...and that's all well and good since this is only in part a cookbook.  Essays about seasons, ingredients, family life and restaurant success preface this wonderful book's recipes.  The recipes are modern yet rooted in the slow foods and local foods movements.  Really an outstanding book that warms my heart every time I pick it up.

I'm not surprised that I love this book. Demi's illustrations are so unique to me and provide so much to look at. While at this time this is much longer than what I'd read at one sitting with my girls, it's fun to come back and pick it up again and let everything soak in. We are planning to homeschool and after reading this one on Marco Polo, I went on to find several on the bargain section of Amazon and just doubled our Demi section in our personal home library. I think I'm going to have to try to own them all.

I loved this book so much I had to purchase it again.  Foolishly I loaned out my autographed copy to a family member who has misplaced it.  After nagging for years for its return, I bought another copy to revisit.  I fell in love all over again.  My only regret is that it is not an autographed copy.  I'll never make that mistake again.

I preordered this book and went to John Green's signing, so I was left with two copies of the book. I'm so glad I was, though, because I have one to read over and over, and one to circulate between my friends. I really do love this book that much.

For me, this book wasn't about dying and death. Don't get me wrong, there was a LOT of discussion about death, but I felt that was more in relation to life itself. And I loved the discussion about death as much as I loved Hazel talking about life--she wonders the same things that I do, and makes the wondering itself less taboo. I think Hazel is a beautiful character. She has quirks and problems and things she likes, and Hazel is consistent throughout the book, even when everything around her is changing.

All in all, I thought this book was exciting, beautiful, and above all inspiring. I believe it is a must-read for everyone.

DFTBA.

This is a fantastic cookbook, but it's so much more than that- the stories, photographs, and history are just as incredible as the recipes themselves. I find myself reaching for this book far more than I ever anticipated for that perfect balance of thoughtful, but not fussy food.

I can not recommend this book highly enough. I got the hard copy and the kindle copy... oddly enough, I was able to "get" more of it when reading on kindle. That's not typical... regardless, FANTASTIC life-changing book.

This book is so embracing, so real, so welcoming, so literary, that I cannot recommend it enough. Nor am I happy I finished it. I will re read it probably. It deserves a second reading, it's that good.

I read this book several times and I enjoy it more and more.  I passed this book along to a few friends in my writers group and they passed it on as well.  It is that kind of book.

One of my friends that I knew would enjoy it, is adopted as well.  She shared with me the other day, she has started her journey to find her birth parents!  The coolest part is that Rebecca's book was her inspiration!  I love that the most!

I didn't think I could, but I love this book even more than Flat Out Love. I love Celeste's character and see in her grow and change was wonderful. I loved witnessing her quirky way she looks at life and the world and her interaction with the people in it, especially Justin. Her emotional rawness made her even more beautiful of a character. I also adored the continued development of Julie and Matt. Thank you Jessica Park for a beautiful follow up that made me smile and weep...I want more!

I love this book more than almost anything I have read in a long time. It takes us into lost places in ourselves while sparkling our minds with new ways of seeing the world. The turns of phases, the vision throughout almost takes off the top of the head. The work is so accessible and intimate and new that one read's it straight through, and missing its company, goes straight back to the beginning.

Loving it still reading, but highly recommended
