How to Cook Your Daughter: A Memoir by Jessica Hendra
2.0
I read this book for a summer reading challenge: read a book with son(s), daughter(s), or child(ren) in the title.
I picked this up for $1 at a used book bin on campus years ago and I'm glad I didn't pay much more. It wasn't a bad book - it just wasn't really all that good either.
It didn't drag. I can give it that. The book kept a decent pace, and I was interested to see how Jessica made out. The style of coming back to present day a few times during the book was interesting, though it didn't necessarily add much in terms of suspense or anything.
I picked it up expecting just another memoir. It pretty much was, aside from celebrity name-dropping, which I really don't care about at all.
Nothing special, nothing aggravating, nothing memorable at all. It was just... fine.
