She can see things other people can't and she decided a long time ago to use this skill to help others. As far as the rest of the town is concerned she's simply the kind-hearted young woman who runs the local bakery, but in private she uses her gift to add something special to her cakes so that after just one mouthful the townspeople start to feel better about their lives.

Reviews

[Steph L]

4.5 The one part that I thought was odd was how this book switches genre's with almost no warning about 70% of the way though the book.

Characters 5/5

I loved Chase and Cherry I thought they were so sweet as a couple. They might not have started out as a couple, but they ended up being very cute. I didn't love Chase's mother or his aunt, but I understand why they were there, the same goes for the characters that were The Guild.

Story 4.5/5

I enjoyed the story, but I wanted to know when we were going to switch genre's from a light fluffy romance to a heavy dystopian sort of a setting. Some readers might have liked this, and once I got used to the change, I was enjoying the story, but it was so much of a change.

Writing 5/5

This was my first time reading this authors fiction and I think she is a fantastic writer! I will definitely be reading more of her books.

Pace 5/5

The story had such a steady pace and I loved that. The light scenes were fast and the more dramatic and emotional scenes were just that.

not sure what this was doing Cherry can see people's bad emotions and in her baking can alleviate them, sometimes this is successful, sometimes not so successful. She has set up bakeries in a few places and once the place has improved she has moved on. Now she's in Plymouth and things are about to get more complicated. One of the people living there with her can see good emotions and knows that too much of a good thing could be harmful. As if that wasn't enough conflict; a secret agency meets the two and declares that they have to give up their abilities for the good of everyone. But their motives appear somewhat cloudy and things take several turns.
It's a bit of a muddle and I wasn't quite sure where things were going a lot of the time. I felt like there were several good stories that could be fleshed out better in this single story and somehow I wasn't feeling it.

Initial thoughts: All That She Can See was filled with so much whimsy, I couldn't help but enjoy it. It also reminded me a little of the TV show Pushing Daisies and the MG book series Angles Unlimited, both of which I used to love. And of course, where baking is involved, it's hard for me not to be delighted.
