Book Review: The Potluck Club

F: The Potluck Club: Linda Shepherd, Eva Everson  How can something so right turn out to be something so blah.  I think I was supposed to read these books first, and then read The Potluck Catering Club afterwards.  I find myself doing that with series lately.  ANYWHO, to tell you the truth, if I would have read this book first, I don't think I would have continued on to reading the rest of the series.  I could not for the life of me, get into the story.  Maybe it's because I had already formed a bond with the girls of the PLC.  Maybe I already knew some background and that was good enough for me.  Whatever it was, it made me sad.

I think though, If one was to read it IN ORDER, then one would enjoy it.  It was kinda fun seeing the girls become friends, and not just think they were put together because they wanted to be.  Everyone knows that we have to work on friendships, and some just come more naturally than others.  From reading what others have said about the book, I don't think I am alone in my thinking.  The recipe cards at the chapter markers is a great touch, and one really feels the characters embarrassments and struggles.  I just didn't finish the book.  I don't think it flowed as well as the Potluck Catering Club series.  I still have one more to read from that.  The library does not have it in yet, to my knowledge.


SO, I am now taking recommendations for new books.  I have NO IDEA who or what I would like to read about, just Fiction.  Got a good one one your brain??  Let me hear it!!!
