From School Library Journal
Grade 10 Up–Junie Wong-Goldstein lives in Brooklyn and has what others would consider a charmed life. Her parents are overseas on business all the time so she is rarely bothered by them, and hunky Brian adores her. However, Junie wishes she could turn back the clock to when her parents were home more often and before she and Brian became sexually active. Her best friend, Celia Clarke, is worried about not having a boyfriend at all, maybe because she's taller than most of the guys she knows. Add Celia's friend Danielle Battaglia, who's desperately in love with Steve the serial cheater, and that's the recipe for some serious girl-bonding. Junie and Danielle first meet at Celia's place, and the three of them rustle up something to eat while discussing their troubles. They eventually turn this into a weekly girls' dinner club, trying new recipes and sharing and supporting one another, somewhat like a YA version of Rebecca Wells's Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (HarperCollins, 1996). Each of the teens is clearly drawn and has strengths and weaknesses common to girls their age. Their families add unique ingredients to the story. Disturbingly casual sexual activity happens throughout the book, although condoms are mentioned multiple times. An interesting read for mature audiences.–Paula J. LaRue, Van Wert City Schools, OH

Gr. 9-12. A little bit of sex, a lot of food, and strong friendship make this story fit comfortably into the chick-lit category. The major sex scene, such as it is, takes place early on, when Junnie Wong-Goldstein and her boyfriend go at it, mostly offscreen. It's their second time, but Junnie isn't ready, which leads to boyfriend abandonment and more time to spend with old friend Ceilia and new friend Danielle. The girls bond over food, and there are delectable descriptions of the dinners each makes at her house. The girl's stories are predictable. In addition to Junnie's boyfriend problems, Ceilia is mixing it up with her father over his new girlfriend, and Danielle needs more self-respect when it comes to the boys she chooses. Yet the writing is smooth, the girls have their own voices, and Elliot takes obvious pleasure in indulging in funny moments, of which there are many. Ilene Cooper
