" A friend recommended this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love it when a novel can take you away from it all and just let you sit back and enjoy it. "

" Enjoyable light read. Another what if things had ended differently. "

" I love Claire Cook and this was another delightful confection of chick lit. Although I wish there was more on the resolution and I thought Jill's aha moment came much too quickly. "

" Quick, summer read. "

Lorie | 12/24/2013
" Hate to say it, but this was not the fun "beach book" it pretends to be. It was depressing, the main character needed some serious therapy, and so did her bratty, ungrateful daughter. "

Sherry Gillians | 12/23/2013
" Kind of corny, but a good book to read at the swimming pool "
-




Merceda | 12/22/2013
" Good information about the various cultures she provided in her "Lunch Around the World" classes. Interesting how Anastasia clung to her father like he was the greatest thing she had ever seen after he came into her life, leaving Jill out of the picture. "

Katy | 11/28/2013
" I just like Claire Cook books for light, breezy reading. This was a good book for a lazy afternoon reading. "
-




Jenne | 11/27/2013
" An easy beach read. the thing I like about her books is that they are shorter. by the time the main character started to get whinny she wrapped things up and ended it. "
-




Stefanie | 5/19/2013
" A bit predictable, but a solid chic lit selection. "
-




Jeannine | 12/30/2012
" I've loved every book Claire Cook's written. This one was no different. Finished it in about 3 hours. Just terrific. And I liked the fact that the ending wasn't an ending per se. It left the door open for possibilities which was what the whole book was about! "

" This was a light, fast read -- a bit of cotton candy for my mind, if you will. The protagonist is a quirky mother dealing with the re-emergence of the husband that left her for the Peace Corps seven years ago. I loved the emphasis on travel and foods from around the world! "
-




Hillary | 10/25/2012
" Predictable fluff. A nice evening's diversion. "
-




Amy Columbus | 8/25/2012
" This is a nice, quick and lighthearted read. I found it to be a great palate cleanser after a much heavier novel. "
-




Brandi Allen | 7/15/2012
" Read this in one afternoon at the beach. Easy beach read like most of the authors books. "
-




Robin | 4/7/2012
" excellent light read. cute story with endearing characters. loved it. "
-




Kay | 12/24/2011
" I needed a "Beach Read" and saw this on the library display. It actually had some depth to it and a quirky, realistic heroine. Breezed through it and enjoyed it. "
-




Kristi | 6/12/2011
" It was just ok. But in its defense - I shouldn't really go from reading 'Kitchen House', with its intesity, history, pain, etc. To a fun girly book. I don't say this often, but it would make a cute chick flick - but it was ok at best as far as a book goes. "
-




Stacey | 6/2/2011
" Claire Cook is my go-to-gal for fun and light summer reads. This was quick, fun and light just as I had hoped.
"
-




Taysha | 4/20/2011
" Meh. It just didn't really grip me. I kept hoping for it to get better, or to get some insight into the characters, but it just didn't really happen. Then I blinked, and it was over.
"
-




Lynette | 4/18/2011
" An easy almost predictable read. Almost gave it a 4 star rating. I enjoyed Jill's character as would seem to be a typical woman with typical troubles.
"
-




Mary | 4/17/2011
" Ok read. Nothing special or too memorable, but filled the time pleasantly.
"
-




Dana | 4/4/2011
" Good book, although I thought the ending was rushed.
"
-




Renea | 4/3/2011
" wanted a lite read...this was just way too lite.
"
-




Angie | 3/31/2011

-




Jessamyn | 3/29/2011
" Cute, well-written for this type of book, quick, great beach read.
"
-




Heather | 3/24/2011
" I really couldn't get into this book. I have read most of Cook's books and have really enjoyed them. Usually her books are like a quick getaway. Nothing deep, just a good vacation from life. Not the case with this book. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't like past books by the author.
"

Lynda | 3/1/2011
" Anyone who has read a Claire Cook book knows it will be witty, well written and bring the characters through some tough adjustments. This is a fun and satisfying read. I recommend it for "comfort food" reading.
