review 1: I am only on page 15 and I already don't like this book. Maybe her family is this dramatic, but it seems she is just exaggerating to make her characters fit this typical latina stereotype, and as a hispanic woman myself, all I am doing is rolling my eyes instead of relating to them.I am now on page 116 and sad to say this book has only become worse. Here is a sentence from the book to prove this, "I'm a migratory soul and, like a maxipad, my soul had wings." After reading that I couldn't help but put the book down to have a good laugh with myself about this ridiculous writing.Throughout this book the author likes to drop small sexual remarks that seem very surprising at first. The beginning of the book doesn't mention anything sexual, then out of nowhere around pg 60 the c... moreharacter starts talking about her "wet vagina". Then as you progress through the book she litters the story with meaningless and terribly written sexual encounters. This author obviously does NOT know how to write sex.
review 2: Pretty poor read. Sorry- this author's strength is maybe NF. Not sexy when intended, vaguely vulgar, protaganist is a bit of an insult to latina women, and nothing much is learned or resolved by anyone in this book. It doesn't give me much a feel for Paris, the cooking classes are food failures and not sensual full of more negative stereotypes ( macho israeili, whiney american, aggressive self absorbed professional women, lecherous french teachers) . Why did I read it? less
