The newest book I have read is quite entertaining. It is called The Queen of Minor Distasters: A chick-lit with recipes by by Antonietta Mariottini. Reading through the life of an Italian girl with a big Italian family. I'm not Italian, but I love reading about the big families they have. I may not have an Italian family, but my family is big even if it isn't all in one household.
The main character is only trying to find herself. He boyfriend breaks up with her, she is plays hostess at her family's restaurant, but she doesn't seem to know who she is outside of all that.
I love the fact that at the end of each chapter or most of them there is recipes for each dish she talks about in the chapter. Most sound really good and I may try to make some of them.
The summer season has started on the island and Stella is once again general manager at her family's restaurant. She has a good feeling that her boyfriend, Drew, of 3 years is going to finally propose. She calls him when her friend, Lucy calls to say she will be a while because of an accident. When she calls Drew she finds he is still in the city at his office where he works.
When she gets to Drew's apartment on Monday, she cooks him a wonderful meal expecting him to propose that night. She found the Tiffany's catalog in his bedroom. When he gets home and they have dinner is when he finally tells her that he doesn't think they are on the same page with what they want and he doesn't see himself marrying her.
She goes back to the island where her family's second restaurant is with her tail between her legs. Her mom informs her that a friend of the family son has returned home from Rome. The same boy that use to pick on her constantly. The boy that both the mother have been planning a wedding for for over 20 years.
Do you want to know how she deals with the break up from her long time boyfriend? Do you want some yummy recipes too? Do you want to know what happens with the boy she grew up with? You will have to read The Queen of Minor Distasters: A chick-lit with recipes by by Antonietta Mariottini for yourself. You can get your copy at amazon.com. It is only $2.99 for the kindle version.
