[Spoiler Alert] Not a very good book.
[Not a Spoiler Alert] This book has many conflicting reviews.
Like a volcano in grade school science fair, this book starts quickly, but ends up as a mess.
If I can finish a book, it can't be that bad, right? This book started out as a three star, but quickly became a two after the introduction of Six-Thirty* and then the genius 4-year old and then the unrealistic cooking show.
The author should have watched any of the Julia Child shows, documentaries, or series to see how a cooking show in the 60s works. What bothered me the most was that they did the first show live with now rehearsals. Now that's a recipe for disaster (pun intended).
I didn't care for any of the characters, or some of the unnecessary back stories. It wasn't "Laugh out loud funny" as one of the editorial reviews stated. Speaking of editorial reviews, did you know that 62 of them are quoted on the Amazon book page? That's a little excessive in my opinion.
I didn't like it, but you might.
*Six-Thirty is the philosophizing pet dog who has many moments of inner thought and acts as her lab assistant, goggles and all. Good Grief.
Oh, he also picks up the kid from school.
