I think I'm the only person in the world who didn't love this book. It had its moments, yeah, and was mildly funny. But I couldn't relate to any of the characters, everyone seemed to have the same snarky sense of humor, 90% of the book was dialog -- which started to wear me down -- and overall it seemed glib and self-conscious. Others found the food themes to be delightful, but after the fifth or sixth mention, they just felt like a crutch (likewise the stray cat). All that said, Crusie is still a much better writer than most modern romance authors -- I just wish that were a bigger compliment.
