Table Manners by Mia King - Amateur Book Review


This is the second book I reviewed by Mia King, the first one being Sweet Life which I can't find my review llink for. Grrrrr...

Mia King's writing is sweet, you can tell she is just a very sweet person by the characters she comes up with. She weaves reader friendly stories, and her characters are all very likable even when they are the "villian" or in this case, the evil sister/sister-in-law to be.

What I also love about Mia's book is how much she loves food, especially the sweet stuff. Sweet Life and Table Manners are chock full of yummies to make your stomach growl in the wee hours of the morning, when I usually do my best reading. At the end of her books you will find the recipes for the food the characters eat or cook, which will make you want to get up from the couch and start cracking some eggs to whip up something delectable.

In Table Manners Deidre is a our main character and someone we can all identify with. If she isn't you, then you have a Deidre in your circle of friends. She cares about everyone and wants to take care of the world. She doesn't know how to say no and takes on her friend's commitment ceremony, while trying to come up with a whole new line of special desserts by "Sweet Deidre" in a week. Arrrghhh.
