THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE CLUB by Ann Pearlman ***

So far it's ok but cloyingly sweet and domestic. The chapters start with a cookie recipe so if you like cookies you'll automatically enjoy that! It's about an annual cookie swap. The club members make each other a dozen cookies and one plate for charity. Each cook has to tell a story about their cookie or something about their life.

It's homey and aprony but I'm sure some people like that. Not my taste. Mostly it's the cookie hostess's story about her friends and their personal lives. It's like listening to your own friends and their personal blahblahblah. Some of them are former hookers, or were beaten or something like that. Also most of these stories sound very naive but they're based on reality (so she says) and written by a compassionate person who seems to love everyone and everything and wants to bestow her love of life on everyone within range.
Everyone now is happy happy happy!

Don't read it if you're depressed- it'll just piss you off.
