I'm honestly not sure how I felt about this one. The style is super interesting - each chapter is split into a recipe that Tita or someone else makes during that chapter. But the recipes are also integrated into the actual story. Yet, maybe I'm just not a fan of magical realism - I haven't found a book where it really works for me! I also did not like the relationship between Tita and Pedro - it kind of gave me the yuck. The style and language was beautiful - and some of the things Tita and other characters had to deal with really struck me - but I just didn't like parts of the story.
