Don't get me wrong, I looked forward to everyone of the books in this series at first. I was excited as anyone at the idea of this new Comfort Food series by C. Wenger, and couldn't wait to get my hands on no. 1 as well as the rest. It interested me because- Number one, it's setting location is in my backyard. My hometown is depicted in the books numerous times, and I have a clear visual of what she is describing. Number two, I love the diner / foodie theme.
BUT-this book dragged worse than a dog with three legs across a desert. I wanted to love it, and have read the first three in the series. It just fell short, and became so difficult to finish that I forced myself to breeze through the last quarter of the book, as I was so sick of seeing it on my side table.
My main issues - (of course, you may have this problem). How many times can a girl admire a guy and repeat how his butt in his tight jeans looks 'soo good', but add "not that I'm looking". This becomes so very redundant in this series, that its MORE than predictable. It's downright stupid. Take it to the next level, for crying out loud. Have Ty kiss Trixie!! Go on a date! Do SOMETHING!! The other issue I have is characters in general are just too boringly complex. Unnatural. For instance- The best buddy that wears outrageous outfits could be likeable, but she is not. Just the name alone- Antoinette Chloe Brown (ACB) became so grating on my nerves, I detested her.
On the positive side, the mystery is ok, although it's that issue again, some cozy's have -of the main character being a know-it-all, and in obvious danger that the foolishness of it drags on for anyone with a thinking brain. Yeah, Trixie has that.
But the environmental snow storm and weather descriptions are cool, and very accurate for this neck of the woods. As is the diner scenes with food descriptions. I don't know if I can undergo another installment of Comfort Food, unless it's changed up quite a bit, moves along faster, and maybe knocks off ABC, no it's ACB- and that's regretful as I know the place well.
