A delightful, laugh-out-loud debut novel featuring a 30-something heroine and her big Italian restaurant-owning family. For Jo Cerbone, being a good daughter means working at the family restaurant... This description may be from another edition of this product.
If life gives you lemons don't bother to make lemonade just read "Love and Meatballs". It's a great way to turn around a bad day! "Love and Meatballs" is a fun read that moves quickly through one adventerous laugh-out-loud period of the Cerbone family. So real you could expect a friend to be explaining the various complications of family and business over a cup of tea. It had me laughing on a day when I didn't think I would laugh. Excellent first novel....Where are you going to take us next Ms. Volland?

Charming!

Lovely bed-time reading. Charming characters, refreshing plot, easy and a pleasure to read. *I* want to meet *the guy* though--and isn't that an effect a romance novel/mystery should have? Really charming: a romance novel without patronizing or simplistic cliche-characters, mystery without manipulation or the obvious plot. Silly, silly.. those harsh reviews!
HYSTERICAL!

I laughed out loud all through this book! It's hysterical. The story drew me in immediately to the point that I was annoyed when I had to put the book down to answer the phone. A fast, fun read that takes you into an Italian American family and their chaotic kitchen. Great characters each with distinctive `voices'. I'll never look at ferns the same way again! P.s. the reviewer before me might consider their level of anger toward such a delightful book?
BRAVO!!!

My dad picked this book out for me, and he did a wonderful job! I loved the characters in this book and didn't hurt that it was from WA either! This book was packed with spirit, love, family and everything a reader could ask for! I can't wait to try the recipes, esp the hash! Read it in just a few hours, but make sure when you start it you have enough time to finish it because you won't want to put it down!
