Review: A quick romantic read but not on the classics list

I have mixed feelings on this one... Bree, 27 & feeling aimless inherits a house and money when her beloved grandmother dies. She is bullied constantly by her overbearing mother and sister (her brother is only mentioned) while her father has no backbone & looks the other way. After getting hit on the head by a cookbook Bree takes a cooking class where she falls for the perfect, handsome teacher she doesn't think she is good enough for.I like the writing, yet the story was not as compelling as it could be. She wanders around a aimless and dissing herself then at the end everything just magically falls into place without her really thinking about it. The love relationship feels off at times, unsure if it is just sexual or deeper. Simon is charming if at times ridiculously sexist, which feels odd. He likes to throw her over his shoulder and not every woman is into that.
