The Secret of Orange Blossom Cake by Rachel Linden

You want me to spend a summer in Italy?  

I'll have to think about it.  You have to think about it?  What's there to think about?

Juliana's mother asked her to accompany her stepsister to Italy at their grandmother's house for the summer.

Julianna thinks about it and decided it would be the perfect place to be and she does need 50 original recipes that she can get from Nonna's cookbook for her cookbook to save her career .

What happens when she gets to Italy? 

When Juliana looks at the recipes in Nonna's cookbook that have been there for years, they are totally blank?

What is Nonna hiding about the cookbook they used every day when Juliana stayed with her in the summers?

Lots of good and a few bad things happen, but most importantly we get to enjoy the Italian lifestyle, delicious food, and wonderful characters.

And ohhhh the secrets that get revealed about the lives of the characters as well as finding out what the secret of the cookbook and orange blossom cake is.

You will not be able to stop reading and will miss the characters after you turn the last page.

This book is another uplifting, marvelous read by Ms. Linden​ that will have you smiling as well as shedding tears of happiness.  5/5
