I almost didn't finish this. I only did so because it was such an easy read that it seemed a shame to not go completely to the end. No regrets about finishing it but did feel like the day could have been spent on less annoying chick-lit. The writing was clichéd and at least 4 times in the first few chapters the writer pointed out the Maine pronunciation of chowder. Worst part? Hardly any food as seemed to be promised by the title! I found this book to be an unexpectedly charming, totally enjoyable summer read. The writing and images of the characters, depiction of the small town locales and the dialogue were as refreshing as a summer breeze - and as tasty as the blueberry pie and muffins it describes so delectably. Don't expect an intensely complicated storyline or character development - but rather a delightful turn off the superhighway to a slower-paced life that enthralls in its downhome simplicity and the likeable people you will meet along the way. A promising first novel by a Connecticut native.
Pretty obvious how it would end, but a nice read for a cozy afternoon on the couch

This book is entertaining but a bit ridiculous.
