3.0
I have to admit I almost didn't get this book, and then when I started reading it, I almost stopped.
I almost didn't get it because I thought it didn't quite sound like my thing, but then a review pointed out the plus figure of the heroine and I felt the need to be supportive (at least by reading it; it was a freebie). I almost put it down because of Savannah refering to herself as Mommy to her characters.
I'm glad I didn't.
The strange thing about this book is that it is overfilled with cliche characters. Yet, and this is the important bit, the cliche characters work. They are real; they may be cliche but they are not one diminsional. I like the fact that Savannah is in her 40s and isn't skinny. I like the fact that her close friend is skinny and the two are not in competition and treat each other as equals. The mystery was easy to solve, but the book was really fun to read. Nice, light, a good piece of non-insulting and very amusing (in a good way) fluff.
I really like Savannah. She is one of the best characters I've seen in a long time.
