💚👩📚 The book gives us a lot of food for thought with lots of food to cook as well. I had felt that maybe the cooking might be difficult or the book would be like a jazzed up recipe book but the story of these two women is the focal point with the cooking being the binding agent. Kinda like desperate housewives but much deep. 📚💚👩The cooking, perfection and the old charm of a USA housewife. They are characters that speak of the times we live in. The story won’t be what it is without the men. The husbands are there, as varied as they come. 📚💚👩Stoic, silent yet deeply meaningful to women and wives today as much as it was for the ladies in the 1950s. And her secret made her human in my eyes, if only more women could get that sneaky! She displayed amazing strength of character and resilience. 📚💚👩Alice and the self-awareness she finds making her real and relatable.

Both the ladies were able to own their stories and the troubles they faced. 📚💚👩What I liked was the seamless transition from Alice to Nellie and their stories. I am sure they have an excellent collection of books. 📚💚👩 I got this book from the was immediately pulled to the story. 📚💚👩The author has balanced the book with the past and the present for the two women and how they grow in their life makes it a wonderful pacy read. The book transcends time and is as relevant today as it was ages ago with its women-centric theme.
📚💚👩I was worried that I may not connect with the old-time USA or the vintage feel of the book. Recipe for a Perfect Wife by Karma Brown is a book that was a surprisingly good read.
