Reviews for A Taste Sweet and Salty
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A twisted tale of identity, love, and doing the right thing when it doesn't seem to matter. I liked the open-endedness of it, the lack of answers; getting readers to read between the lines is a nice skill, and the author has it.
