Assalamualaikum and Hey =)
Just for a heads up, Im sooo bad at interpreting certain things so please bare with me.
So Rose did mention about a small island off the coast of central California. At the rim of the island, there were trees. Lots of them. And they were the nice-looking type of trees.  Rose described them as "...kind of stretchy, tasty bark...". Im imagining them as a work of art. And like most art, they are fragile. An elegant palm type actually fell over due to the fact it grew closest to the edge of the island where there are thinner dirt and more birds compared to the inside. Slowly, moving in deeper into the island, Rose explained that the trees were still being overtaken by birds and stuffs, but they still stood tall. They actually had sufficient sunlight and space for their lovely roots to grow. There was this particular tree who reached sideways with twisted branches and it had this interesting vibe to it. Soon, islanders look upon the tree as a symbol of survival. Going in 20  yards in? The trees were all well and dandy. They were all strong and functional. More space, less birds, no dents. 
So... WhAt In ThE wOrLd DoEs AnY oF tHeSe HaVe To Do WiTh RoSe'S fAmIlY?
Okay. lets imagine the whole island itself as reality. Anything beyond the island would be an escape from REALITY. Remember the elegant palm tree falling over? yeah. That would be Joseph. He wanted to escape reality. And he found a way how. By turning into a chair. The only way he could be in his own world without being disrupt  by the change of time and people. But little did he know, the closer he was to the "edge", the easier he would fall. He has no grasp on reality and is barely hanging on. By the time he had fallen deep enough, there's no hope in saving him. The mother actually falls into this category also due to her constant wood work. She does that to overcome her issues in the family by keeping herself busy with carpentering. So in a way, that was how she escaped her depressing reality. 
The second layer? That would be Rose. Throughout the book, she slowly learnt how to overcome her "special ability" and accept who she is. She also had her issues and Im pretty sure if she had the opportunity, she would also want to escape the reality she lived in. But somehow, she knew the consequences of it. And she didn't want her beloved ones to be fooled by whats beyond reality. She reached out to them. You'd noticed how she would always ask about her mother and brother. It would be a "Are you okay" or a "Is anything bothering you" type of question. Yet through all of these, she managed to still be somewhat balanced and capable of surviving this cruel world we call reality. That's why she is one of the most interesting characters in the book.
Going on about the third layer. Thats when the father comes into place. He seems to be the most normal and "human" of them all. Like the trees, he is the most functional. He is also like the only one who doesnt mind to live in this reality. He somehow holds the family together from falling apart. Preventing those that can be saved from falling in deeper into "non-reality".

Hence, that is my point of view on the image of the trees with Rose's family. So sorry if it sounded a bit 'merepek' to some of you.

2.  How do you interpret the last line of the novel?
Well, for Rose to not feel other people's emotions, she would eat factory made food (oreos). She clearly can't stand the taste of despair and guilt in someones home made food. So to be able to not taste them, she would rather eat something that was made by machines. However, for Joseph, to not feel people's emotions,  that meant he had to change into a chair, allowing him to be as far away as possible from humans. Rose thinks it is so unfair that for her brother to run away from this, he has to run away from the world they lived in where else Rose only needs to enter a dollar into a vending machine and her problem would be solved. That is the sad reality she and her brother lived in. Maybe it was made that way so Rose would be grateful with how can she easily dispose the problem.

3.What did you like (and dislike) most about the Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake? and would you recommend it to someone?
Honestly, I loved the beginning of the book. I love how the author allowed Rose to taste people's emotion just from a bite of something. It was really something new for me. Also the way the author portrays the sanity of the family. It was really interesting. Until the part when it became too weird to bare. I am really unsatisfied with what her brother turned into. When I told my friends about that particular part, they were all dumbfounded. Why cant the author turned him into something cool? He was already dull in his real form, so why turn him into something duller? I wanted him to transform into a dragon. At least his transformation would have been more epic. During his dragon form, he would meet other dragons and mingle. Have fun, etc. I think that would make the story line more awesome, I guess? Nevertheless, the book was fun to read and somewhat relatable with what is going on in our lives. But then, Im still not happy that Joseph turned into a chair. Lastly, I would recommend this book to someone due to superb plot and content. But I would warn them about the brother. They should know that things do get a little weird.
