Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
The Summer Kitchen

67/100
👎 Skip It
A gentle, hopeful story about neighbors feeding neighbors, and it earns its warmth honestly rather than forcing it. It's a quieter, slower-paced read, and being the second book in its series, it helps to have met these characters before.
