The Secret Ingredient of Wishes
A little magic, a little romance, a little pie makes a perfect beach read.

When wishing makes it so
Wishes and secrets. Don't we all have both! In this romance both play an important part. Wishes, if heard come true, and secrets can be kept baked in a pie.
This bit of magic and how it impacts the characters is a 'novel' idea! The story line is predictable, but it was a light, fun summer read.

Remember to be careful what you wish for
After reading several rather dense non-fiction books, The Secret Ingredient of Wishes, was a pleasant respite. It would be a nice weekend read after a hectic week. While it is just a fantasy story with predictable, comfortable characters, it is also a book that could give a reader some things to think about beyond the story line. As I read the book I became more and more aware of how often "wishes" are dropped into our casual conversations. What if these wishes were granted? Can you even imagine how much worse rush hour would become?

Fun but predictable
Fans of Sarah Addison Allen will love this book reminiscent of Garden Spells, replete with magical powers and pies. It's a light-hearted and easy read with a touch of melancholy. While much of the plot is predictable and too much is given away in the first fifty pages, it's still a pleasant read with enjoyable characters and a charming Southern setting.

The Secret Ingredient in Pies
The Secret Ingredient in Pies is a love story, romantic and familial, with more than a little magic tossed in. Too many pies, wishes and secrets mixed in with predicable characters make this an easy summer read. This was an interesting and creative book but not my cup of tea. A perfect beach book.

Disappointing
I knew this book was going to be a light chick lit type of book and I typically enjoy that sort of book once in a while. But this book was poorly written with very little character development. I didn't really buy into the childhood friendship. There were too many coincidences once she got to Nowhere and the ending was too abrupt and not believable. I would not recommend this book to a friend.

Lacking a few main ingredients
A fairy tale, best read at bedtime, full of synchronicities that needed a few more ingredients to make it a worth while read. It had a promising plot, but just needed more work.
