It was okay.  I read the entire thing, and liked bits of it, mostly the bits with Lucy.  Stella was not exactly the sharpest cookie in the shed, and her inability to grasp obvious things was annoying.  Perhaps I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to enjoy it, but her getting all hysterical about minor things was grating.  Sure, she wasn't going to have that particular job, but it's not as if she was going to be cast onto the street, or end up with nowhere to go and no way to care for herself.  Which I suppose is what really bugged me.  She had never had to take care of herself in her entire life, and was a child in the body of an adult.  Also, that chocolate chip cookie recipe was totally not original.In the book's defense, it did have funny moments, and I liked the snippets of background about running a restaurant.Friends of the author, you may flame me if you wish, but this is MY opinion about the book, and not everyone is going to gush about the same things.  You probably wouldn't like my favourite books either.  Would I give another of her books a try?  Probably, because the author is talented.  I just didn't like Stella.
