I really loved WHEN IN DOUBT,  ADD BUTTER by Beth Harbison. It was a quick read and very enjoyable. Gemma Craig hasn't always had an easy life. She has quit her corporate job and is now doing what she loves most, cooking.   She  is 37 years old and a private chef in Washington DC.  She cooks for different people most nights of the week.  Not only the rich, but some quirky people as well.  One of them is a single guy who she calls Mr. Tuesday. Even though they have never actually met, she has been cooking for him for awhile now and he is one of her easiest customers.  One of her customers isn't as nice. Angela  thinks she is having an affair with her husband and she sets out to ruin Gemma.  Gemma has no idea who is creating trouble for her.  One by one she starts to lose her clients and is determined to get to the bottom of it.  She can't afford to lose too many more jobs or all of her hard work will be for nothing.

On one of her free Friday nights she goes to a bar with her friend and meets Mack. She is instantly drawn to him as he is to her.  They leave the bar and spend the night together. After a couple of mishaps, she seems to think that she will never see him again.  She really needs to talk to him. I can't tell you why, but trust me, she needs to talk to him!  She sees him once in a grocery store and he is on the phone. He tells her he really needs to talk to her and hands her what he thinks is his business card, but it isn't his, it's a woman's. She is crushed with the prospect of never seeing him again.

WHEN IN DOUBT ADD BUTTER was very funny at times and had me laughing out loud and giggling as I turned the pages.  The notes between Gemma and Mr. Tuesday were cute and hysterical at the same time.  I thought the premise of the book was very original and it was a nice change from all the paranormal books that seem to be flooding the market nowadays.  if you love women's fiction as much I do then you will surely enjoy WHEN IN DOUBT ADD BUTTER.

How can you not love a book with brightly colored cupcakes on it?   WHEN IN DOUBT ADD BUTTER was easy to read and I really liked the flow of the story.
