Recipe for a terrific read
Recipe for Disaster
SUPERB, FANTASTIC, a real page turner. What more can I say! It is a great girly book that would make a terrific chick flic.It is a romantic comedy written in the same style as Freya North and Zoe Barnes. It has got to be in my top 3 books of all time. Total feel good escapism.

Whether you read it on the beach, travelling to work or with a cup of tea beware it is very difficult to put down. A word of warning don't read it at night as you won't turn out the light.

I am now in mourning, I have no inclination to pick up a new book as any read after this will be a disappointment.
