Description
\\u201cA can\\u2019t-miss title for fans of chick lit and modern women\\u2019s fiction.\\u201d \\u2014Library Journal, STARRED review
\\r\\n
An unlikely friendship between two stubborn, lonely souls anchors this big-hearted book and dares us all to ask for more.
\\r\\n
When her life falls apart on the eve of her 40th birthday, Kate Parker finds herself volunteering at the Lauderdale House for Exceptional Ladies. There she meets 97-year-old Cecily Finn. Cecily’s tongue is as sharp as her mind, but she’s fed up with pretty much everything.
\\r\\n
Having no patience for Kate’s choices in life or love, Cecily prescribes her a self-help book\\u2026of sorts. Thought for Food: an unintentionally funny 1950s cookbook high on enthusiasm, featuring menus for anything life can throw at the “easily dismayed,” such as:
\\u2022 Breakfast with a Hangover
\\u2022 Tea for a Crotchety Aunt
\\u2022 Dinner for a Charming Stranger
\\r\\n
As she and Cecily break out of their ruts, Kate will learn far more than recipes.
\\r\\n
A feel-good summer read with a wicked sense of humor, Vicky Zimmerman\\u2019s book will teach you that food is for feasting, friends are for savoring, and the way to a man\\u2019s heart is\\u2026irrelevant.
\\r\\n
Fans of Jennifer Weiner, Elin Hildenbrand, and Sophie Kinsella will delight in this recipe for confidence, romance, and fun.
