I had something to write about but I don't feel like it yet so I'll make some notes about this book instead.
From wikipedia: Katie is the founding owner of a popular restaurant named Seconds. Katie inhabits a room in Seconds and is woken up one night by a mysterious, white-haired girl named Lis, who gives Katie a notepad, a single mushroom, and instructions for her to follow to cast a "do-over" spell in order to fix her past mistakes. Katie finds more mushrooms under the floorboard in the restaurant and uses them to fix problems arising with the construction of a brand new restaurant, her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, and to prevent the injury of a waitress named Hazel. Despite Lis' rule of one mushroom per person, Katie ignores Lis' concerns and seeks to use the mushrooms to make her life perfect, but unintentionally creates more problems as a result and disrupts the balance of time and space.
- The title is a triple entendre, which delights me. - The house spirits, like everybody else, are practically chibis, but they're still frightening. There's something feral and otherworldly about them. Much like Pan's Labyrinth but IN YOUR HOUSE. If it was me I would freak the fuck out. - Plot and aesop are predictable but still nice. - At some point Katie rewinds a night where she stayed up watching Baking Bad. Hits close to home. - I wish there was more about Katie's career, to better establish her as a master chef. - Also what's up with Max? What's so great about him? - When do we get an Edgar Wright movie out of this?
