That Part Was True
That Part Was True | Deborah McKinlay
7 posts | 8 read | 7 to read
When Eve Petworth writes to Jackson Cooper to praise a scene in one of his books, they discover a mutual love of cookery and food. Their friendship blossoms against the backdrop of Jackson's colorful, but ultimately unsatisfying, love life and Eve's tense relationship with her soon-to-be married daughter. As each of them offers, from behind the veils of semi-anonymity and distance, wise and increasingly affectionate counsel to the other, they both begin to confront their problems and plan a celebratory meeting in Paris--a meeting that Eve fears can never happen.

Mehso-so

May #bookspin

Yay! I finally finished a book spin pick. Too bad it was just meh but glad to have this book off my shelves. A British woman struggling with anxiety writes a fan letter to a popular American author and the two strike up a friendship and bond through their mutual love of cooking.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 6mo

All from my tbr pile of course. However, thanks to library closures this year I‘ve done really well with #mounttbr and I have read 34 books from my physical pile this year with still a month to go!

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks will we ever read all of them?! 4y

Reading at the hospital🤒 I only read contemporary easy books here because I'm in stressful situation.
I'm 30 weeks pregnant and my little girl want to meet this world early. I'm losing my water (amniotic fluid) and hoping for the best.😭
We are power girls💪💪

One more of the books that caught my eye while pricing yesterday... have any of you read this? It‘s blurbed by Beatriz Williams, which is what first caught my eye! #behindthescenesatbookmans

I really enjoyed this book a lot. It‘s language had a nice flow and feeling. It‘s not a particularly lengthy book, which was nice. It‘s a light read that goes deep. I would definitely recommend it. #book #bookstagram #thatpartwastrue #reader
