The Strawberry Patch Pancake House by Laurie Gilmore
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
1.5
Firstly, if it didn't contain these tropes, my rating would be vastly different
child free with surprise pregnancy .
I did generally like the MC's, and Olive was cute enough. I could easily forgive Iris loving Olive after getting to know her. I did like the chefy storyline.
However. Incoming rant:
I absolutely despise the"child free woman who doesn't like kids, meets one kid, is automatically a great parental figure. Falls pregnant and suddenly absolutely loves kids". Person on the fence about it? Meh. Still not a fan, but fine. Whatever. Person who does 't want them? Just no. Loving Olive in particular after getting to know her and becoming her step mom? Fine. That I can forgive. I know things weren't perfect and stuff, but I still despise it.
If you don't mind that, you'll probably love this book. I will still give the next book a chance, since I've enjoyed the rest of the series.
