4.0

This was an unusual read giving this author's historical novels - it seemed more indulgent, overtly sexual and adult but also more authentic. The characters popped off the page and for the first three quarters of the book the European food tour vibe was really effective. However, much like a couple of the writer's previous works, it just goes on a little too long or it's a little over-egged. Despite that, really glad I read it.
