The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

By: Aimee Bender

This endearing book is set in California and is about Rose Edelstein, who when tasting food, can feel the hidden emotions of the person who cooked it. The book is about her relationship with her out of touch parents, disappearing brother, fake classmates and how she handles all the emotions people dump into their food. The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake is about being present in everyday life; and how important it is to spend time with people who you actually like. If your not, your just wasting your time.

Aimee Bender lives in Los Angeles and has also written the Girl in the flammable skirt and Willful Creatures.
