OK. I'm fed up. Here's the thing--I don't normally read themed mysteries, but I decided to give this one a try. This was sort of chick-lit- meets-foodlove-meets-mystery, and in the end, it really wasn't enough for me. Plus, being the fourth book in the Gourmet Girl mystery series, I was stuck with a RELATIONSHIP CLIFFHANGER ending that sort of annoyed me. I thought I had about twenty more pages, and instead I was stuck with twenty pages of RECIPES! Oh well... Although parts of this were fun, the mystery was predictable, and I didn't really love the characters. Fed Up not only is the book title but tells how i feel about this book. I love Cozy Mysteries especiallly those that involves foodies. this was awful. The plot was ok but wandered a lot. The characters were vague and not fleshed out or interesting. The author introduces characters and them invokes odd plot devices that hack the character to pieces like she does with Emillio who starts off as a hunky hero type and at the end of the book unexpectedly turns into a creep. Then the book ends on a cliff hanger and i don't really care what happens next.
What do You think about Fed Up (2009)?
Enjoyable but very predictable. The suspense plots are shallow and unimaginative.

I enjoyed this mystery although it felt somewhat preachy at times.

I really like this book because it kept your noes in the book.
