Sue's Reviews > Bookplate Special

I was disappointed in this installment of the series. The author brought in the topic of poverty in the economic downturn, which was fine, but Tricia seemed more obtuse than usual as she is surprised to find that people in her town, including her employee, are struggling to make ends meet and get food. So she learns about the freegan culture that liberates food from Dumpsters. All this would be fine except that Tricia was somewhat annoying in this book. She fusses about Ginny coming to work late, yet she leaves the store or closes early anytime she feels like it. I realize she's the owner and can do that, but it seemed disingenuous. Her sister Angelica was a much more sympathetic character in this novel which made for an interesting switch. My biggest complaint about the book was the solution which came out of the blue and seemed a little bizarre. Hopefully the next one will be better because I've already acquired it. ;)
