Apprehension swelled inside of me upon receiving this book and realizing it was set up almost like a self-help book. It got thrown onto the counter where it sat for several days until I willed myself to pick it up and give it a shot. Karen Linamen hooks you in on the very first page telling humorous stories about life, love and her ever present need for chocolate. She slips encouragement into the heart warming stories she tells from her own experiences and those of friends. Inside are also yummy recipes sent in from readers along with “Food for Thought” sections. I was sweetly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book and I will be giving it out as gifts to all my girlfriends.
