Maybe a good read for someone in their 20s for just free living fun life in NYC. Too much drinking, guy looks good so must be great, into themselves and jump into bed attitude for me. Funny how Charlie makes fun of her mother's ideas yet that is what saves her and her roommates. ( ) This book held great promise: the story of a girl just starting out in the great city of New York with a new job, new apartment, and a unique twist of a cooking club. The problem is that the story was all over the place; you could tell that it was written by two people. The main character would start out in one scene and then a chapter later be telling people what happened to her previously. You didn’t get to experience the entire novel firsthand; you had to put up with the main character telling her friends about it later on after other events had taken place. All the jumping around made it too confusing. The main character was very easy to like and her circle of friends was amusing except for “Skinny Sage” and her many food aversions. There are only so many Anorexia jokes that can be made before a person gets irritated. Most everything else in the story was unbelievable and pretty much cookie cutter. Overall, I was disappointed with Spooning and would only recommend it to people who like an extremely fluffy, light & meaningless story. Synopsis: Charlie decides to use her newfound cooking skills to ensnare the man of her dreams: a certain roguish investment banker. As she becomes ever savvier in the kitchen, she grows savvier about love as well and comes to discover that even the most delicious-looking package can lack substance and real flavor underneath. My review: Good premise but it falls way short of its mark. It has no plot, no character development and no point. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Take one kitchen, add six friends, combine with a dash of romance, and stir. Meet Charlotte--a.k.a. Charlie--Brown: a recent college grad and newly minted New Yorker, eager to begin her grown-up life. All kinds of "firsts" await her in the big city: her first real job, first loves, first heartaches, and most important, her first time living on her own. Enter Charlie's mom, who subtly suggests that her daughter might want to learn some grown-up skills--like cooking--to go with her fifth-floor walk-up.Together with her friends, Charlie forms a cooking club to convene once a month, to share food and swap recipes, and to gossip about the drama of their new lives. Charlie has lots to dish about when she lands a job as an assistant to Jane Dough, the domestic diva of daytime television. As the girls begin to gain some culinary expertise, Charlie decides to use her newfound skills to ensnare the man of her dreams: a certain Mr. J. P. Morgan, a roguish investment banker who can charm Charlie with a glance but remains hopelessly aloof. Yet as Charlie becomes ever savvier in the kitchen, she grows savvier about love as well--and begins to realize that even the most delicious-looking package can lack substance and real flavor underneath.With a sparkling voice that bubbles along like champagne fizz, Spooning is an irresistible tale of food, friendship, and what it takes to find the perfect recipe for romance.
