Stella DiLucio is the master of fixing other peoples’ problems. After all, the sassy twenty-seven- year old manages her brother Lorenzo’s restaurant on the Jersey Shore. With the help of a little “Food Therapy” Stella can evade meddling mothers , face frenemies, confuse gossiping locals, and smooth out family conflicts, all while keeping a smile on her face. She’s that good at her job. But let’s be honest, it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to run the family restaurant. All it really takes is the right dress (and shoes), some confidence, and the ability to give food away for free (just don’t tell Lorenzo). Stella seems to have it all, but when her boyfriend throws her a curve ball, her life starts to unravel. To make matters worse, a sexy guy from her past keeps messing with her head, her parents drop a bomb that changes the family dynamic, and her best friend starts keeping secrets from her. Can the queen of minor disasters set her own life straight? Or will it take more than some “Food Therapy” to get through this mess?

Join Stella as she deals with her quarter-life crisis, runs the family business, and ultimately figures out what she wants in life. Full of unexpected twists and turns, outlandish characters, and inspiring recipes, this laugh- out-loud novel will take you behind the scenes of the restaurant business, whetting your appetite, and making you beg for seconds.

4,0 su 5 stelle Amusing fluff with no particular message but still enjoyable
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 25 dicembre 2013

There’s a sense of laziness about this book, which matches the clearly autobiographical lead character’s inability to envision a life for herself apart from the insular family reality that is so cozy she’d rather remain a child at home than an adult forming her own life. From the exhaustingly inconsistent formatting, the grammatical and spelling errors (surprising from a writer with advanced English and teaching degrees), it seems that this book was pulled, unedited, from the writer’s diary from her 27th summer. Despite all that, I enjoyed reading it. In fact, the bad reviews the book received sort of irked me because only fools judge a work of literature based on whether the character makes choices the reader herself would make. That’s just plain silly. In this case, the story was about a determinedly immature girl who had little desire to leave the comfort of her family, and who wanted nothing more than to marry and be a wife. While nowadays we feel obliged to be feminists, there’s something to be said for those who enjoy nurturing a family, and in fact a character’s choices need not be justified if it’s entertaining reading, and I enjoyed this book, including the whimsically included recipes, some of which had typos, some were pulled from other sources (like the chocolate chip cookies’ recipe straight off the pack). As I said—lazy but enjoyable. She immersed us thoroughly in her world with detailed attention to food, her wardrobe, and family dynamics. It seemed as real as any diary might.

This book is good old fashioned chick lit! Based in a restaurant with the main character as the hostess, there are also recipes for each food mentioned.
A good beach book! 👍

I consider myself a "chick lit" enthusiast but some don't always live up to the expectations of the blurb. The Queen of Minor Disasters, however, was hard to put down! As a mom of a 2 year old and 2 month old, finding time to read a book is pretty hard to come by these days but I made time to finish this book. The writing style is excellent, the reader is kept on their toes with suspenseful plot twists throughout and the characters are fun to get to know. One of the best parts is the playful addition of recipes to conincide with Stella's "Food Therapy." I can't wait to try them out...although I was a little disappointed the chocolate souffle recipe didn't make the cut...my mouth was watering just reading about it ;)

It was okay. I read the entire thing, and liked bits of it, mostly the bits with Lucy. Stella was not exactly the sharpest cookie in the shed, and her inability to grasp obvious things was annoying. Perhaps I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to enjoy it, but her getting all hysterical about minor things was grating. Sure, she wasn't going to have that particular job, but it's not as if she was going to be cast onto the street, or end up with nowhere to go and no way to care for herself. Which I suppose is what really bugged me. She had never had to take care of herself in her entire life, and was a child in the body of an adult. Also, that chocolate chip cookie recipe was totally not original.

In the book's defense, it did have funny moments, and I liked the snippets of background about running a restaurant.

Friends of the author, you may flame me if you wish, but this is MY opinion about the book, and not everyone is going to gush about the same things. You probably wouldn't like my favourite books either. Would I give another of her books a try? Probably, because the author is talented. I just didn't like Stella.
