Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it! Salt and Sugar is a standalone novel. That said, it was hard for me to step away from the characters when I was done writing. They stayed in my head for a lot longer after everything wrapped up, so I did plan what happens next. We’ll see what happens in the future, but I’d definitely welcome any opportunity to release bonus scenes or publish a sequel! Fingers crossed? :)(less)

“Lari, I was wondering if—” he begins to say, but Pedro suddenly sticks his head between us like a giraffe. “What’s with the chitchatting in my kitchen? We got work to do!” Pedro scolds,”
Rebecca Carvalho, Salt and Sugar

“He clumsily picks up the trays of corn cake and bolo de rolo, now all mixed together. He shoves a piece of the mixture into his mouth like he's doing it just to avoid talking.
But then his eyes light up.
"Oh my God!" he says with his mouth full. He grabs another piece of corn cake stacked with bolo de rolo, holding it up to show it to me, like he's just made a great discovery.
"What?" I ask.
"You gotta try this," he says.
I'm so nervous that I don't think I can make myself eat, but I take the first bite---
Salt and sugar mix in my mouth, the two tastes meeting like a kiss.
"It's... it's..." I can't find the right words.
"Perfect," he finishes for me. He's so close, his eyes locked with mine and that silly smile on his face.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!
Rebecca Carvalho, Salt and Sugar

“t's not like everything has been solved between all of us, like a lifted curse in a storybook. And I know we still have a lot of learn from each other and s lot to forgive. But standing side by side in the kitchen together seems like a new chapter in our families' shared story, one full of hope.”
Rebecca Carvalho, Salt and Sugar

“Garlic is divine. Avoid at all costs that vile spew you see rotting in oil in screwtop jars. Too lazy to peel fresh? You don't deserve to eat garlic.”
Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

“You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope.”
Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.”
Veronica Roth, Divergent

“Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.”
Veronica Roth, Divergent

“This is a short book because most books about writing are filled with bullshit. Fiction writers, present company included, don't understand very much about what they do -- not why it works when it's good, not why it doesn't when it's bad. I figured the shorter the book, the less bullshit."
Stephen King, On Writing
