An Embarrassment of Mangoes: A Caribbean Interlude by Ann Vanderhoof

2.0

I originally picked up this book because I have always wanted to run away from responsibilities and have some sort of adventure. The story was interesting enough and the descriptions of the islands definitely made me want to sail around the world. However, the actual book wasn't very gripping and she didn't describe the characters thoroughly enough for me to care about them. She did include descriptions and recipes for some delicious-sounding dishes. Despite that (and even though I hate to stop reading halfway through a book), I'm just not that interested in finishing this one.
