HTML:<p><strong>"A can't-miss title for fans of chick lit and modern women's fiction."—Library Journal, STARRED review</strong></p> <p><strong>An unlikely friendship between two stubborn, lonely souls anchors this big-hearted book and dares us all to ask for more.</strong></p> <p>When her life falls apart on the eve of her 40th birthday, Kate Parker finds herself volunteering at the Lauderdale House for Exceptional Ladies. There she meets 97-year-old Cecily Finn. Cecily's tongue is as sharp as her mind, but she's fed up with pretty much everything.</p>Having no patience for Kate's choices in life or love, Cecily prescribes her a self-help book...of sorts. Thought for Food: an unintentionally funny 1950s cookbook high on enthusiasm, featuring menus for anything life can throw at the "easily dismayed," such as: <ul> <li>Breakfast with a Hangover</li> <li>Tea for a Crotchety Aunt</li> <li>Dinner for a Charming Stranger</li> </ul> <p>As she and Cecily break out of their ruts, Kate will learn far more than recipes.</p> <p><strong>A feel-good summer read with a wicked sense of humor, Vicky Zimmerman's book will teach you that food is for feasting, friends are for savoring, and the way to a man's heart is...irrelevant.</strong></p> <p><strong>Fans of Jennifer Weiner, Elin Hildenbrand, and Sophie Kinsella will delight in this recipe for confidence, romance, and fun.</strong></p> <p><strong>Praise for Miss Cecily's Recipes for Exceptional Ladies:</strong></p> <p>"A beautiful, thoughtful read about love, friendship and food with shades of Nora Ephron's Heartburn and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine."—<strong>Tasmina Perry, international bestselling author of Daddy's Girls</strong></p> <p>"Beautifully written, full of insight and food."—<strong>Katie Fforde, bestselling author of A Perfect Proposal</strong></p> <p>"Hungry for a love story with added bite? With deliciously real characters, a sprinkling of humor, a pinch of pathos and huge helping of wisdom, this book has all the ingredients to become this summer's must-read."—<strong>Isabelle Broom, bestselling author of One Thousand Stars and You</strong></p>.
