Title: Good effort
Product review: Based on the reviews above, I expected to enjoy this book a lot more than I did. While the writing style was engaging and some of the characterization simply wonderful (loved her whipped cream fixation), it was just too hard to truly like this protagonist as a person. She'd done the right thing, yet her friend was upset. Instead of going to her friend, she figures she'll just do other things. She leaves town without even telling her sick mom where she will be. She seems to have some serious, unresolved issues with her past, but then we never learn what those things are. It was hard to relate. I also wished the mystery had been harder to figure out. Still, I like this writer's writing style and her wit and I will keep an eye out for her next book, only this time I may just get it at the library first.
