Negative Positive
Title: Undercooked
Review: I really wanted to like this book but the author wasted a good concept and servicable characters by delivering a standard romance novel instead of an insiders view of a bustling restaurant kitchen. I hoped for juicy kitchen drama, but received utterly predictable family drams instead. The worst written character was the grandmother whose motivations remained a mystery while she blew in and out of scenes like clock work to bedevil the other characters. Just another crazy old harridan who acts without rhyme or reason. I think I expected way too much from a book by this publisher. I hope an inspired writer will give us a book about a young, talented female chef someday, but this one is not it.
Is the review positive or negative?
