Instead, they returned to their jobs, physically, if not emotionally. The focus on biodiversity, sea vegetables and starting a project is inspiring. Then back to the other character in chapter 3. This is a terribly translated and poorly edited book. I love their approach. Love! Love! Love! This book! It has it all! Romance! Suspense! And food! Lol This book will make you wish,laugh,cry and leave you shocked with the twist and turns. It re
