Title: Nothing like "Like Water for Chocolate"
Review: I saw this in a bookstore and read the description on the back of the book and thought it sounded pretty good so I bought it. Seeing that it was compared to "Like Water for Chocolate" is what really made me want to read it. The only similarity it has to "Like Water for Chocolate" is that it includes recipes. "Like Water for Chocolate" is a great example of magic realism. This book is pure and utter chick lit that is actually somewhat shallow.I very rarely give up on books, but I almost did on this one. I could not get into the book. The main characters were like the popular girls in school that were rather superficial. I could just never really relate to the characters in the book and at times was just annoyed with them.By the end of the book I did like the characters a little bit more, but it definitely isn't a book I will reread or probably even keep.
