false <![CDATA[I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255625265m/5996317.jpg 5996317 6 From failure to fusilli, this deliciously hilarious read tells the story of Giulia Melucci's fizzled romances and the mouth-watering recipes she used to seduce her men, smooth over the lumps, and console herself when the relationships flamed out. <BR/><BR/><BR/> From an affectionate alcoholic, to the classic New York City commitment-phobe, to a hipster aged past his sell date, and not one, but two novelists with Peter Pan complexes, Giulia has cooked for them all. She suffers each disappointment with resolute cheer (after a few tears) and a bowl of pastina (recipe included) and has lived to tell the tale so that other women may go out, hopefully with greater success, and if that's not possible, at least have something good to eat. <BR/><BR/><BR/> Peppered throughout Giulia's delightful and often poignant remembrances are fond recollections of her mother's cooking, the recipes she learned from her, and many she invented on her own inspired by the men in her life. Readers will howl at Giulia's boyfriend-littered past and swoon over her irresistable culinary creations. 6170613 8 4 2009 I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti total:438|5:36|4:114|3:176|2:82|1:30| 438 1358 939 160 5996317 0446534420 9780446534420 433 157 I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti 3.10 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255625265m/5996317.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5996317.I_Loved_I_Lost_I_Made_Spaghetti 2 3 false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 21:20:07 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 21:24:40 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5996317 0446534420 9780446534420 433 157 I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti 3.10 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255625265m/5996317.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5996317.I_Loved_I_Lost_I_Made_Spaghetti 2 2 false Thu Feb 26 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 21:08:32 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 08:51:48 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5996317 0446534420 9780446534420 433 157 I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti 3.10 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255625265m/5996317.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5996317.I_Loved_I_Lost_I_Made_Spaghetti 3 1 false Thu Mar 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 11:07:34 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 11:36:31 -0700 2009 I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti, this was on my must-read list.

I anticipated that this would be a frivolous read, but I was hoping it was fun and frivolous. I ended up skimming through most of it, it was repetitive and tedious, and not very well written. It was self-indulgent and whiny, and there really wasn't any point.
