She loves cooking and it has always been a big part of her life. The main character Sophie grew up with a Greek-Italian family, and was practically born with talent in her blood. It fit the role of YA contemporary novel very well. The dialogue wasn't awkward and the situations don't seem forced. The language in this book is very modern, which is why it's easier to understand. But the characters also grow stronger, and develop relationships that'll last a life-time. There's drama, there're cat-fights, it-couples, and sabotage. It was entirely like reality shows that we see on TV these days, and I felt like I was actually watching it as I was reading. The concept of a "teen reality-show" was also a great idea. The author does seem to have a background in cooking, so the novel didn't just spout out random pieces of information that made no sense. It's funny, charming, and flows very well together. The story-line isn't confusing and it's easy to follow/understand. You're also learning new things, like different recipes that the author throws in here and there, which is a fun little tid-bit to look forward to after every chapter. I honestly was not watching the time, and finished it in the span of a few hours. This book went by really fast, it was a really quick read. Although it was a bit naive, and that could just be to me, it was still a fun experience. This book was the cutest thing I've ever read! I literally wanted to puke up rainbows and unicorns by the time I was done.
If your looking for a light, fun and quick read (that will totally make you hungry!) add Pizza, Love, and Other Stuff That Made Me Famous to your reading pile.Īnd I can’t fail to mention, there are recipes in the book too! I think I might have to try out a few myself! The behind the scenes stuff for the cooking show was so enlightening!
The writing was great and the story was entertaining. There is a diverse cast of characters, and I have to say that I enjoyed each and every one of them.
This is also a really clean novel, so it would be a great book for middle grade readers starting out in the young adult genre. This book is SO CUTE! It’s just really fun to read. Let’s just say, Sophie has her hands full. But there’s a lot more stewing on the set! There is drama, cut-throat competition and did I mention the cute French boy. This isn’t really spoilery, because it’s in the summary, but Sophie makes it onto the cooking show. Now she only has to convince her father to let her go! Her best friend, Alex, (who Sophie is also seriously crushing on) finds out about a teen reality cooking show and talks Sophie into entering. Sophie loves going back to the kitchen, throwing on an apron and cooking. Sophie has practically grown up in her father’s italian-greek restaurant.
