My husband bought me "Kitchen Addiction" for my birthday. It was a great choice! I am a big fan of light comedy, word puns, fun with names, cats and cooking. Having grown up near an Amish area in the Midwest, it was a lovely taste of home. This novel exceeded all my expectations.Kitchen Addiction opens with zany fun & not-so-subtle puns, starting the story off with a bright, sunny, smile.The cast of characters includes Mina's loving family, a friendly, good hearted neighbor - who's a former NJ mob member in witness protection, her bird & orange cat. The goofy plot and word puns will leave you chuckling aloud, especially if you're reading in a public location, like the subway.The setting is Amish-centric Lancaster County, where everyone is truly nice. Kitchen Addiction is a must read for all who grew up in an Amish area (or anywhere in the Midwest) and miss it! It's like going home, but better.Lizz's main character, Mina Kitchen, sounds like a lot of fun to chum-around-with. She's a real 21st century woman, balancing her love of family, pets, job and cooking. She's real, right down to her stunning, toe-mangling, sandals. She "works to live", until she loses her job. With the loss of her job, Mina shows us that as one door closes, another more exciting one opens. Mina has one humorous, but plausible adventure after another.Kitchen Addiction is a "Must Read" light hearted comedy, perfect for the beach or a snowy day in front of the fireplace. You won't want to put it down. I finished the story last night & realized I would miss Mina's adventures.Congrats Ms Lund, we look forward to your future stories!!
