A Perfect Blend is a chic-lit with plenty of romance and even some suspense and mystery thrown in. Amy is a mother in her thirties who chose to have a child through the miracle of sperm donation instead of waiting for a man, due to a family history of early menopause. This is the story of her and her six year old son's, Charlie, life.

I needed some chick lit this weekend. I needed to relax and not think too much. I picked this one up on a whim on my ramble through the shelves at the library.
This is the story of Amy, a thirty-something mother of six-year old boy, Charlie. She longs to break into journalism, but, in order to provide quality time with Charlie, she works at Cafe Mozart - a coffee shop on the outskirts of London, England.
There were subplots of her parents' and her sister's marriage's breaking up, trying to break...more

This book is so amazing, i don't know where to even start. Margolis has done such a wonderful job portraying the life of a single mother searching to find herself, as well as her Mr. Right. This novel is filled with heartbreak, longing, sweet moments, pure bliss, and true love. I've never been so upset to finish a book in my entire life, as I was with this one.
This book was a delight to read. I found this book after finishing a great, but very intense Jodi Picoult novel. I was looking for a light-hearted romance, and this book was perfect. It had a great storyline, the characters were lovable, and parts of the book were so funy that I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. So if you are looking for a fun and flirty story, and you love coffee, Perfect Blend is the book for you.
Wasn't sure I was going to finish this one, but glad I did. Had a slow beginning and I thought it was going to be all about coffee. But, it quickly picked up and was a page turner. A very cute story with a happy ending! A super summer read.
I just found out I have to have back surgery in a month. After my doctor's appointment, I went to the library and saw this book on the quick reads shelf. It seemed like the sort of book I need right now: quick, fun, absorbing, light (& British!).
Thought that I'd enjoy this fluffy culinary romance while taking breaks from hanging with the fam on the annual Puskar camping trip, but I just couldn't get into it. It's supposed to be chick lit ala Bridget Jones and it does have some fun British lingo. This is my second one-star review this month so my book radar must be off.
If you are looking for a sweet, fun escape from reality, enjoy this one by Sue Margolis. Who doesn't enjoy a little feel-good story with a hint of professional dream-come-true and romance?!
This was a delightful novel, going beyond the average chic-lit with a secondary, investigative journalism storyline. This moved Perfect Bland from superficial escapism to a much more gripping read.
I really enjoyed this book. I needed something to read this weekend before starting a new semester at school and this book fit the bill. It was a great book for a quick read.

My online book club was reading this book. I picked it up several times but was never able to really get into the book. The author would have several long paragraphs before or immediately after introducing the character, to provide background information. I found that annoying.
Too much back story with each and every subject and the story got lost.
Frustration!

enjoyable beach read, fun and quick, just what I wanted.
A quick, easy read in between book club selections.
Nice book. Makes you want to drink coffee though.
Predictable but fun characters.
Very Predictable!! Could see things coming from 50 pages earlier!

Cute fast read
Cute beach read.
I gave up on this one pretty early on. Author tries too hard on an uninteresting story with uninteresting characters.
This was a good read, a little predictable but enjoyable none the less. The story is about Amy, a single mother and wanna be journalist, who is working at her friends chic coffee shop to be able to spend more time with her 6 year old son. She is surrounded by family and friends, all with their own amusing stories, making her way through the world. She hopes to have a career as a freelance journalist and maybe find love. Will she find the "perfect blend"?
it was a cute story
i really liked this book! i enjoyed the romance scenes and the overall story. there were a few too many plots that were mixed into one book, but overall a good pleasant typical chick lit book with some romantic scenes thrown in. a great story about the self sacrifice of motherhood and a believable plot.
Silly and absolutely mindless. Perfect after a long day of work.
Super cute chick lit. Loved all the characters and an easy read.
Romantic Comedy
