From Scratch by Rachel Goodman epitomized your feel good country read. In this charming debut book, Ms. Goodman truly captured the essence of second chances in life and love. I have always been a fan of books that are able to weave raw emotions that are tangible and relatable to their readers. And in From Scratch, Ms. Goodman really has showcased that just like in life and cooking, you always start from scratch.



From Scratch instantly hooked me from the opening pages as we are taken truly down a journey of a young woman rediscovering her life as she returns back home to her hometown in Texas. For Lilie Turner, she didn't expect that her father had other ulterior motives in having Lilie return back home. Lilie is forced to really to reevaluate her life, love, and career choice. What I really liked about this book was that Ms. Goodman was able to weave a fun, beautiful and yet touching read about second chances. I love reading a book that can integrate a powerful and deep meaning of love and life in beautiful undertones. From Scratch really had a perfect blend of drama, angst, and romance. So if you are looking for a book that is smart, sexy, and refreshing and was beautifully well written, then I would recommend From Scratch by Rachel Goodman. A great debut book!!!
