review 1: The author is coming to give a talk at my library and so I thought I would check out her book. What a great find. This is so much more than a travel memoir - there are wonderfully detailed descriptions of french food and the french countryside. There were the extremely funny descriptions of country life and travel through a foreign country with one big dog and two small children. Then there is the reflection on the author's life, goals and relationships. All of this is told in an engaging style. I am looking forward to hearing Amy speak, if she is half as funny and entertaining as her book, it will be an event filled with fun.
review 2: Loved this one! Read it after finishing a few pretty dense books, so this sort of book was ideal. I really enjoyed Finle
... morey's show on Food Network, and I've always wanted to understand more about why she didn't renew it when the network offered. Many readers complain that Finley whines and plays victim throughout the whole book and throughout all the drama with her husband, but let's be honest... female readers drink this stuff up and adore it, even if they don't care to admit it. This book was a refreshing quick read, and I would read another book by Finley in a heartbeat, if she ever writes again! less

just didn't have time to read and needed to take back to library, but it was cute and had potential.

I was expecting it to be more interesting. Took me a while to get into it & finish it.
