The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie by Rachel Linden

This was a great story! Lots of magical realism and life learning.

Heartbreak and lemon drops offer “what-ifs” to Lolly who is living a life she didn’t choose because of a promise to her mother.

Ten years ago, her mother tragically died and with a promise to keep, she gave her dreams and love up. Lollly abandoned everything to help her dad and sister.

A decade later, as a labor of love and honor, she bakes her mom’s lemon merengue pies.

As “33” approaches, her aunt gifts her with three lemon drop candies, each promising her the ability to live a single day in a life that might have been with different choices.

Her adventures allows her to let go of regret and gives courage to embrace the present and what can be.

This was such a heart-warming, enchanting story! I absolutely loved enjoying the journey with Lolly! 4/5⭐
