Clair and Jack Rogers - and its conclusion is heartfelt, satisfying and well worth the wait, much like a lovingly prepared home-cooked meal.īeau is a trained chef who has recently broken up with his cheating spouse and moved from Seattle back to his small Ohio hometown. His latest book "Dinner at Jack's" is in the same vein as "Big Love" in that it really delves into the two main characters - Beau St. For example, Reed's Big Love is one of my 2016 favorites. It's probably no secret that I really enjoy Rick R. I definitely need to try the gnocchi one. The recipes were a great addition to this book. I wish Jack and Beau talked more, I wish I could have seen their relationship grow and I would have liked to see Jack grow as a character. Though I have to say that I appreciate there was no unnecessary drama between other characters.
And then everything was resolved too easily and quickly.įor the most part I found Jack's character rather depressing, whereas everything else in the story felt too light and convenient. Considering how everything developed throughout the story, I didn't find it believable. I didn't understand some of his actions, especially in a scene towards the end of the story. I don't feel I had the chance to get to know him really well. I felt for him, it's impossible not to, but I never fully connected to him. Those scenes and the way Jack slowly accepted Beau's presence were my favourite. I liked the cooking scenes, for some reason I find them very comforting. It has a very interesting and intriguing storyline that kept me reading intently, but in the end I found it a bit lacking.īeau is a likable character. This book wavered between 3 and 4 stars for me.
