Really enjoyed Flinn's writing and the idea behind this project. Plus, I learned quite a lot! Did everyone else know you aren't supposed to put your good knives in the dishwasher??

I'm torn about this one. Enjoyed the story, LOVED all the foodie bits, but thought the writing was pretty clunky at times (most noticeably during the "emails to Genie.") Have to agree with the other reviewers who say Reichl's fabulous non-fiction writing skills are perhaps not making a seamless transition to fiction writing.

Was in the mood for something light and grabbed this off a "take a book, leave a book" shelf at my library. It was a sweet romance, but I absolutely did not buy the lecherous villain's sudden convenient repentance. That was a bit too easy.

The organization was a bit all over the place, but dang this woman is funny. I will read anything she writes.

Enjoyed her writing, she really nailed a lot of the details of what it's like to be single in the LDS church/culture--the funny stuff and the really painful, hard, no-good-answers stuff.

Really enjoyed this, although I wondered a few times if it might be a bit dark & violent for kids. It's a funny, spooky story about two girls spirited away from their village and taken to the School for Good and Evil (basically Hogwarts for future fairy tale characters). But beautiful, prince-obsessed Sophie is sent to "Evil" and antisocial, graveyard-wandering Agatha is put in "Good." Sophie is desperate to fix the mistake and snag her prince and Agatha just wants to get the two of them back home alive.

This book was a delight. Definitely worth finding the audio version!
