Delectable

Delectable by Adrianne Lee
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book is about cherry pie. Seriously, it even has a recipe at the end.

It's also contemporary chick-lit romance. It was moderately entertaining, entirely predictable, and irritatingly simplistic in its scope. In a word, it was . . . meh.

It is important to note that while this book had its problems, they are generally problems with the genre in general and not this book specifically. The characters were stock and somewhat flat; their actions were questionable at best. Fictional real life should at least vaguely resemble real life, and this case it doesn't begin to do that. The idea that a failed marriage born out of neglect can be salvaged with a crisis and great sex is laughable. The happily-ever-after here should have taken a lot more effort. There was no tension or real plot. Really the only good thing about it was the pacing.

While many might consider this a great beach read, there really are much better choices out there. This book lacked substance and depth. There are far more stories out there that offer both.
