I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion. 
 After Olivia Rawlings causes a fire at the Emerson by dropping the baked Alaska she was carrying, she flees to Guthrie, Vermont, where her best friend, Hannah, lives. Hannah finds Olivia a job as the pastry chef at the Sugar Maple Inn. Olivia has always lived in big cities, and living in small town Guthrie is quite a change. She quickly becomes close with the McCrackens, especially Martin, but then a secret comes to light that sends Olivia running again. 
 I enjoyed the elements of food and music in this story. One of the reasons Margaret hires Olivia to work at the Sugar Maple Inn is to win the apple pie contest at the fair. Coming from a family where we have all won the county fair pie contest at least once, I could definitely empathize with that! This book has all the elements that should make it right up my alley. However, there was something - I can't put my finger on what - that made me just like it, not love it.
