A quick YA so-so

Breakfast served anytime
by Sarah Combs

For all that I enjoyed this little book, I don't feel comfortable assigning it a high rating. It's thin and disjointed and seems to be aspiring to be literary or symbolic.  The heroine never seemed like someone I knew, let alone liked. She was amusing, that's all.  There were hints of a painful past, a missing mother and a lost grandmother, but that's all--hints.  There was some internal conflict about acting that I never understood--did she want to? Did she have bad experience with it?  Did I flip two pages and miss something critical?

I think there was even some kind of moral lesson, too. No idea what.  Sorry not to like.
