This was on the cooking list of Popular Paperbacks for teens. Since I love "food fiction" and it was on the shelf at my library, I checked it out. My definition of food fiction means it must contain recipes featured in the story, so by that standard this is not food fiction, but food is important to the plot. If what you want is a ridiculous and fairly predictable teen romp, this will do. The writing isn't great and there aren't any great surprises, but sometimes that's okay. I fo...more
Have I ever told you how much I love the Simon Romantic Comedy series? They're amazing when you're looking for a quick read that's still written excellent.
Micol Ostow writes so that you feel what the character's feeling. When Laine does something embarresing in front of Seth (which you know will happen eventually), you feel embarresed. I actually started blushing one of the times!
The writing was really good, and I could really connect with all the characters, not just Lai...more

Crush Du Jour by Micol Ostow talks about high school junior, Laine, worrying about her college application and trying to do her best to make her college application as good as possible by doing tons of extracurricular activities. During her summer, she applies for a summer job at the community center as a cooking instructor, pairing up with another person to run a class. While she tries to handle the waitress job that Seth, her partner introduced her and the cooking instructor job, she cannot he...more
This book has a very surprising plot line, Just when you think that things are going to get better they get worse and just when you think things are going to get worse the get better. Overall this is very unpredictable and has a very deep message in the end. Don't ever fall in love, but if it happens go along for the ride.
A cute book with a cute story. I enjoyed the language of the story the most, there were some pretty good lines, such as "So Bartender Boy and Bitchy McSpray-Tan are off in la la land" and "Who cared if my bangs were flippy and shooting in two different directions? Lunatic bangs were the least of my problems right now."
A fun read

The protoganist own thoughts were sometimes humorous but there was no zap to the story. It had some elements that were cute but was still lacking for me to really enjoy the novel.
this book is about laine who gets a job teaching kids how to cook and meets a cute guy there. this book teaches people not to lie to others because it will come back to you. Laine did not tell Seth, her crush, that her mom writes restaraunt reviews and her mom is doing one for Seth's dad's place. When seth found out, he started skipping out on the classes and did not talk to Laine anymore.

Loved this one summer 2010
Lately I've been very dissapointed of the Romantic Comedies. You knew what was going to happen and I definitely didn't like they way it was written.
it was so adorable.
Silly book, but amusing when it feels hotter than 100* and you've got no a/c!
This was a good romantic book. I loved it so much. I could not put it down!!!
it was really stupid and the cover is SUPER creepy
