Kim Barnouin is delightful. I couldn't put SKINNY BITCH IN LOVE down.
Clementine Cooper is a vegan chef. Her big dream is to open her own cafΓ©. Along comes Zach, who is anything but a vegan. He is also very rich. The two meet when Zach is in the process of opening a steakhouse. The steakhouse just happens to be where Clem wanted to open her cafΓ©. These two are not off to a great start.
Kim Barnouin brings humor into the story line when we get to meet some of the other characters. The story line also shows the true meaning of friendship, and betrayal.
Clementine decides to start a cooking class. First to help herself and also to help Sara who is trying to become and actress, her weight seems to be a slight problem. Here is where we meet several other characters. Eve who is trying to get over her ex and Duncan who is trying to do the same.
Clem has always had to fight and work hard for what she wants. Zach never had to work a day in his life if he didn't want too. Can these two get over their different live styles and become a couple?
Kim Barnouin makes you first hate some of the characters and than really love them. I have to say not being a vegan; I really would like to have some of the recipes that she writes about. Kim also writes about how there is give and take in every relationship.
Kim also has smaller story lines in this book. All the story line intertwines with each other. Kim does a really great job of insuring that readers do not lose their interest in this story.
If Kim's other books are as good as this one, I will be spending a lot of time in the bookstore and library looking for them.
From the coauthor of the phenomenal #1 New York
Times bestselling Skinny Bitch lifeΒstyle
seriesβa clever, kick-ass novel about friendship, romance,
and making healthy choices both in and out of the
kitchen.
Clementine Cooper is a born vegan, comΒmitted in every way
to the healthy lifestyle she was raised with on her fatherβs
organic farm. But how bad could a little butter be? Bad
enough to get the ambitious and talented sous chef fired
when an influential food critic discovers dairy in Clemβs
butternut squash ravioli with garlic sage sauce. Though she
was sabotaged by a backstabΒbing coworker, Clem finds
herself unceremoΒniously blackballed from every vegan
kitchen in L.A.
Like any vegan chef worth her salt, however, Clem knows how
to turn lemons into delicious, cruelty-free lemonade
cupcakes. She launches the Skinny Bitch Cooking School in
hopes of soon opening her own cafΓ© in an empty space near
her apartment. But on the first day of class, sexy
millionaire restaurateur Zach Jeffries puts a fork in her
idea with his own plans for the spaceβa steakhouse. Clem is
livid. For a carnivore, Zach is more complicated than she
anticipated. Heβs also a very good kisser. But could dating
one of the most eligible bachelors in the cityβand a
meat-eaterβbe as bad for Clem as high-fructose corn syrup?
Shouldnβt she fall instead for a man who seems to be her
perfect match in every wayβlike Alexander Orr, a very cute,
very sweet vegan chef?
Clem thought she was open-minded, but as she confronts the
challenges of budding entrepreΒneurship, old rivals,
ex-boyfriends, and tempting suitors, she begins to wonder if
she can ever say βI love youβ to a man who hates tofu.
