Monthly Book Review: September 2019

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang - Pretty Woman meets 50 Shades. Autistic successful career woman hires sensitive escort to teach her how to have a relationship. Predictable and graphic but not completely awful. C+

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman - A young boy, Nobody Owens is raised by a makeshift family. The catch? They're all dead (or kind of). A man named Jack will murder Bod if he leaves the protection of the graveyard. A delightful coming of age story. LOVE! A

Delicious! by Ruth Reichl - Billie the baker goes to NYC to escape the pain of a traumatic event only to find a bit of gastronomic mystery (milkweed pods taste like cheese?!). Billie also finds an eclectic family of foodies along the way. This was like four stories in one. B+
