What is it about:
- 11 inter-connected short stories
touching upon the various aspects of
romantic relationships, from puppy love
in high-school to long lost love & loneliness --
while a lot of them evolve around
desserts / bakeries...
What went through my mind:
- What can i say? One can never expecttouching upon the various aspects of
romantic relationships, from puppy love
in high-school to long lost love & loneliness --

What went through my mind:
something too deep / moving from this author,
but her stories are always easy to read & relate;
i guess in a sense, it's commercial & easy enough
for most teens / college age crowd,
which explains the level of popularity of her books.
I guess i would have liked this book a little better
if i were still in high school...?!
- The elaborate & alluring descriptions
of German cakes definitely increased my
interests in tasting them one day : D
- The author is observant that
there is a direct correlation between
desserts & romance : 0
how both bring people sweet memories
& desire to revisit the experience in the near future : )
Favorite Quotes:
- "愛情讓我們愛上自己、懷疑自己、
恨自己、憐憫自己,也了解自己。"
(Romantic love allows us to fall in love
with ourselves, second-guess ourselves,
hate ourselves, pity ourselves,
as well as understand ourselves.) (Pg. 5)
-"有人說,男人離不開舊愛,
女人無法拒絕新歡。"
(It has been said, men cannot forget
their previous relationship(s),
women cannot reject their new pursuer.) (Pg. 200)

What came out of this:
* Goal: Look into German style cakes! : D
Why Should you read it, too?
fun to be a total bystander
to some romantic drama at times ; )
