Story of Gus who hosts a show on a food network.

bought it at the Scholastic book fair to take on a trip. good read! Great charachter development like Nora Roberts without too much sappy romance. Felt like I knew the characters and therefore a quick beach & plane read. In fact the stewardess had to ask me twice if I wanted a drink because I was so absorbed in the book! Going to check out her other books!

Augusta Simpson, cariñosamente apodada "Gus", es una estrella de la televisión al mando de su programa gastronómico "¡Cocinar con gusto!". A punto de cumplir los cincuenta años, Gus se encuentra en un momento delicado de su vida profesional y personal. En ese momento, el productor del programa le impone compartir el programa con Carmen Vega, una ex miss deslumbrante y con aires de diva, que le hace todavía más patente su edad. Tras los primeros programas con Carmen, en el que participan sus hijas, una antiguo novio de Sabrina y Hannah, su enigmática vecina, el éxito es tal que el propietario del canal les manda a todos a pasar un fin de semana juntos para conocerse mejor.

I enjoyed it, a story about a middleaged woman who makes changes in her life. It may not be very realistic but sometimes when our own lives are way too realistic it's distracting to read a light book like this. ( )

Fun romp involving the drama, disasters, and power plays behind a cooking channel tv show. I listened to the audiobook read by Barbara Rosenblatt and her husky voice was interesting and funny when she voiced the different characters. It flowed nicely, caused me to laugh out loud on occasions, and kept my interest throughout. Recommended for a light and comical read. ( )
