Review: Like Eating a Dinner of Candy
Rating: 4 out of 5

A more accurate rating is B- .  I liked this book even though there was not much deep character building.  It was light and fluffy; a perfect mindless, feel-good read.  The beginning was slow.  I felt that it could have used a bit of editing.  It was an info-dump that really, was not necessary for the book.  Some parts of the book were so glossed over that it jarred me out of the story.  For example, when Desi and Jake are making love 4 or 5 months after having a baby, never once did a thought go through Desi's head to be self conscious about her post-baby body.  Or when Jake comes to Desi's apartment and the ONLY baby item is a quilt!?  Where's the bouncer, the nip-nap, a pacifier, a toy for goodness sake!?  Or the exhausted working mother.?  Still, if you read it as a fantasy, it was fun. Go for it.
