klsteel 's review for:
The Baking Life of Amelie Day
by Vanessa Curtis
This was a cute middle-grade read about a girl who wants nothing more than to follow her dreams. The main reason to pick up this book is for the food descriptions. Every time I would sit down with this book I’d end up hungry. Even the scrambled eggs sounded heavenly.
I did have some trouble with Amelie only being 13. It felt like the story was centered around someone a little older, but she spoke like she was younger. There weren’t a lot of details, like around her boyfriend Harry or her best friend, and I really feel like those could have been fleshed out a little more.
The ending was incredibly abrupt and caught me off-guard. Everything wrapped up so fast and soap-operaish that I think my head spun. It’s a cute and quick read, but not one that I’d overly recommend.
