The Sweetness Of Salt (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

I thought the book was okay. It basically the story of Julia making that pivotal decision in life whether to follow her own path or the path her parents have paved for her. During Julia's journey, she struggles with a secret her sister, Sophie has been keeping from, a rough patch with her best friend, Zoe and the uncertainty of whether Milo, the boy she likes likes her back after being rejected by him. The novel was a bit slow at times but otherwise it was ok. I didn't love it. A quick little book about the power of truth in relationships. Parents can't always protect their kids and sometimes, more harm than good is done when we keep them in the dark. It's funny how one wrong detail can stick in your craw; this might have gotten 4 stars, as it did have me in tears in the right moments. But, dear Cecelia Galante, bakers do NOT make special challahs for Passover.
