Food for Thought

I was a little unnerved by Emmett and his \"denial\" in the beginning of the book, but as the story progressed, I could understand his reasons (not really accept them tho)...
Keegan was a different case... totally confident, sure of himself and head over hills in love by his neighbor and best friend.
I must confess that once Emmett finally had to assume his preferences, he did it without hesitation and without changing his mind.
A funny and sweet story

It’s very rare for Amy Lane to write a story that is less than 100 pages. Hell, most of the time she can’t contain herself to less than 200! I’m not saying this to scare you off. I’m telling you because when Amy does, the story is always as much of a jewel, with all the fabulousness that Amy makes it, as any of her other works. It amazes me, actually, that she can bring such incredible characters to life in such a short number of pages. But, I expected nothing else, and ‘Food for Thought’ might be Amy-lite, but it’s in no way less wonderful because of it.
There’s nothing Emmett wants more than family. Not just any kind of family, mind you, a great big one, with lots of kids. Growing up an only child, he practically lived next door at Vinnie’s house with his huge family, and that’s what Emmett wants. He wants it enough to be dating a girl, even though the thought of sleeping with her makes him a little grossed out. But, that’s how you get that big family, right? You marry a girl, and you make babies. Well, Vinnie’s mom is pretty sure that what Emmett needs is the family cookbook Recipes for the Heart: Mystical Meals, and Dangerous Desserts, by Granny B.
“Emmett?” Keegan whispered.
“Yeah?”
“Who taught you about gay sex?” Emmett tried to back up.
A sweet, lovely, story with two main characters I couldn’t help but fall for. Emmett and Keegan are, to borrow a friend’s phrase, simply adorkable. The angst was nowhere near what you expect from this author, but it was just enough to make me sigh. Thank you, Amy, beautiful, as always.

Review by Sandra
This was just brilliant. Like Keegan said, there is something genuine about Emmett that is so sweet that you can't dislike him even when he is being an idiot. And keegan. Oh beautiful, patient, kind, Keegan.
I definitely cried a bit but I wouldn't say it's angsty. All the crying was related to family, heart-break, and loss. But interspersed between moments of sweetness and joy. And some hot, hot sex.
The fun little magical twist and Emmett's extended family through Vinnie's friendship rounded out a wonderful story.
