READING IN THE RAIN, September Book

Summer is coming to a close, which is bittersweet. Bitter as we’ll miss the times we slept late, spent traveling or hung out with friends, and had no real schedule to follow. Sweet as I’ll get my life back as all head back to school and work and I can focus less interrupted. So for our last book of the summer, I chose a fun read both bitter and sweet called, “When In Doubt Add Butter”. It talks about taking the sour and making it sweet by adding butter.

Here is Info on the book.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Shoe Addicts Anonymous and Always Something There to Remind Me comes a delicious new novel about the search for true love and all the ingredients that go into it.

As far as Gemma is concerned, her days of dating are over. In fact, it’s her job to cater other peoples’ dates, and that’s just fine by her. At thirty-seven, she has her own business, working as a private chef, and her life feels full and secure. She’s got six steady clients that keep her hands full.

 

There’s Lex, the fussy but fabulous department store owner who loves Oysters Rockefeller and 1950s comfort food; Willa, who needs to lose weight under doctor’s orders but still believes butter makes everything better; a colorful family who may or may not be part of the Russian mob; an überwealthy Georgetown family; the picture-perfect Van Houghtens, whose matriarch is “allergic to everything”; and finally, a man she calls “Mr. Tuesday,” whom she has never met but who she is strangely drawn to.

 For Gemma, cooking is predictable. Recipes are certain. Use good ingredients, follow the directions, and you are assured success. Life, on the other hand, is full of variables. So when Gemma’s takes an unexpected turn on a road she always thought was straight and narrow, she must face her past and move on in ways she never would have imagined. Because sometimes in life, all you need is a little hope, a lot of courage, and—-oh yes—-butter.

 

Doesn't this sound delicious?

Hope you can join in on September 15 for the discussion sure to be as sweet!
