5.0 out of 5 stars Happy and tearful all in one book., December 30, 1998

This review is from: Dear Diary: Food for Thought (Sea Crest by the Sea) (Hardcover)

This book was a plesant surprise. I felt like I was there at the Inn in each and every room as I read the diary entries. Some were funny, some were sad, and some were just downright sexey. To have all this and a cookbook to .....well what more could a person ask for. Its not often you get to look into someones diary. Dont miss this one .. bake yourself up some cookies and settle in . If your like me you wont be able to put it down until you"ve reached the last room at the end of the hall. Whats next?.... a Dear Diary continues..........
