Excerpt

2019
Muffin Guy:
Marry me. Now.
Muffin Guy: Okay that was a little creepy. Sorry. I don’t think I have ever had anyone quote The Dude for me. It’s amazing.
Muffin Guy: I would need to try to muffins before proposing marriage anyway. What if they suck? I think about leaving him hanging, just to see how many texts I can rack up before he gives up, but I can’t.
Aimee: My muffins are world-class. I’m talking good enough for the Queen Amidala and The Emperor or some royalty from this universe. Don’t ever doubt my muffin making abilities. Now let’s talk about that marriage proposal. We can’t base a whole relationship on one cult classic and some Star Wars references. And what if you’re ugly? If he can insult my muffins, I can insult his appearance. It’s only fair.
Muffin Guy: Touché. I already told you how hot I am, so that is absurd. Don’t let the eye thing throw you off, it only adds to my sex appeal. Where can I get one of your muffins? I’m not sure I can take that at face value. I need to do research.
Aimee:
Only place you can get my muffins is from me. I need to go get ready
for a thing tonight. Have a nice night, Muffin Guy. I know if he
keeps texting me, I’ll never get ready for the event, and Dad will
kill me. Without Hali to get my hair and makeup done, it will take me
an eternity.
Muffin Guy: Date?
Aimee: Only with my family. My life is very boring. So boring that I spend the day texting strangers.
Muffin Guy: Mine too. Have fun tonight. If it gets too boring, shoot me a text. If nothing else, I am good comedic relief.
Review: Recipe For Disaster is an absolutely sweet Young Adult novel. This is a genre that I don't usually read because well...because I'm 45 and I don't usually identify with teenagers anymore.
I have to admit I kind of identified with Aimee, in that I prefer to stay home and didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life after high school (Even though I went to college)
Aimee and Muffin Guy are perfect. I adored their texts and I really wanted them to have their meet cute ASAP.
Speaking of Muffin Guy, he was easily identified, but that made things even sweeter.
I felt so bad for Aimee especially with her best friend Hali who was the biggest jerk. Her reappearance proved that she wasn't much of a friend. In fact, everything about her reappearance made me want to shake Aimee and get some sense put into her. (There are a few times when she didn't exhibit much sense at all)
The mother situation was probably the only thing that didn't sit well with me. I wanted it to be a little fleshed out. Plus the time frame kinda freaked me out. Mom leaves and they pack up and move and then mom shows up..and knows exactly where they are now and everyone, except Aimee is happy about it.
Truthfully I felt Aimee was the only one with the "real" reaction to her mother's return.
This was really a fun story that will delight readers of any age.
