Review of 'Vanity fare' on 'Goodreads'

Vanity Fare is tagged as a novel of lattes, literature, and love and that’s a perfect description of the book. Molly Hagan is a 40-year old woman living in Brooklyn, who’s been recently divorced and faced with finding a way to support herself and her son with only an unused English degree. Through a friend, Molly finds herself working as a freelance copywriter for a sexy British chef opening a pastry cafe. Her idea? Matching pastry items with long-loved novels.

This book is for anyone who has even a passing interest in scones or Sense and Sensibility. Megan Caldwell crafts an interesting tale that follows Molly’s journey from a jilted housewife to an independent, strong woman. As a bonus, Caldwell includes recipes for some of the more delicious sounding pastries.
