Reviews
“Readers looking for an escape will be drawn in by Nicola's misadventures, her complicated family, and fascinating details of perfume-making. Most appealing, though, is Nicola, and Brooks (Redesigning Happiness, 2019) perfectly captures the voice of a smart, funny woman who is learning to live a little.”
