Chic Lit for Baby Boomers
A surprisingly delightful read which I have highly recommended to fellow readers and book club members!
This was an engaging tale of an only child growing up with dysfunctional parents and the resulting affects throughout her adult life.

Cover the Butter
This was a enjoyable, easy read. The book was somewhat reminiscent of "Bridget Jone's Diary" without the narrator's ability to poke fun at herself - although, not being as humerous did not make it any less enjoyable. The characters were well-drawn and the frustrations were real, both easy to relate to. This would be a great book club read as there is some real depth to the dilemna of Kate's decisions and her interactions with the other characters which would lead to a great discussion.

Cover the Butter
It arrived just in time! I had just finished a "heavy read" and was looking for something "easy and quick." I found the book extremely easy to read due to the fact that the characters were so real. I was immediately drawn into the story and connected with the characters. I was able to relate to Kate's relationship with Biddy only too well.

Cover the butter
This book was a quick read with amusing scenarios and dialogue. Unfortunately, I found myself so irritated by Kate's character who had no self and spent her life pleasing others, that it colored my perceptions. I have met too many women who have lost their "souls" and become doormats for others to walk on. That however, is what I thought makes this book a perfect vehicle for a women's book club discussion. Some will find it funny and entertaining while others may be disturbed and angry..A great conversation is sure to emerge...

This is an engaging and quick read. The author does a wonderful job creating the main characters, which allows the reader to understand their emotions and motivations, and gives the reader a vested interest in their journey. I could hardly put this book down, but towards the end I found myself slowing down -- I didn't want the book to end!

Modern Day Fairy Tale
"Cover the Butter" is a modern day fairy tale. None of the characters are particularly complex and the reasons for their actions often remain rather mysterious, however the story itself moves along fairly quickly and offers the reader a ray of hope that eventually things will be more like sunny, bright France than dark, deary England which, in these times of ours, is a rather welcome diversion.

Whoopee for Kate
I imagined this book would last me well into my short trip to Paris but I'd read it before I even arrived, which just shows how Kate's story grabbed me.
Carrie Kabak is an illustrator as well as a painter and her artist's eye illuminated this book. Readers feel the scenes, rather than simply read them.
From the opening scene right until the time Kate reaches the end of her story I was completely, utterly and passionately rooting for her.
