content: I had this book assigned to me in my English class. At first I didn't think that I would like such a wacky mushy love story, since I'm really into adventure, but this book turned out to be the book that has changed my whole opinion on life. It's inspirational, witty, and extremely hilarious, like when Gertrudis sets the bathroom on fire and runs away naked with a revolutionary soldier. There are parts where you can laugh out loud and parts that will make your eyes water. It's also fun because there a specific recipes that you yourself can experiment with. I recommend this book for all non-romantics, in hopes that they will see the light.
