Good Things: A Novel

by Mia King

A charming bestseller about a lifestyle maven who learns that living simply isn't simple. Deidre McIntosh became famous teaching women to live simply, and simply live ... ironic for a woman who thrives on the chaos of a television career, and shares a home with her best friend, the one man she can count on-who happens to be gay. But when her Seattle cooking-and-lifestyle show gets bumped off the air, and her best guy moves in with his boyfriend, she's left trying to figure out the next segment. Seizing on a chance encounter with an attractive stranger, Deidre accepts his offer to use his country home. She hopes to get away for a while and learn to practice what she preaches. To appreciate life without voice mail. To gain the courage to start again, and take the first slow, cautious steps toward a new kind of success-and maybe even love. It seems like a simple task. But it may be the hardest thing she's ever done...

Feel Good story

This is a nice and easy read with likable characters. I love the baking background throughout the book, gives it a warm and cozy feel

[Dale · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would consider this a “chick” book; it was easy to read and I wasn’t ready for it to end when it did. Food most definitely was the theme throughout the story so I felt all warm & fuzzy much of the time. I did not care for the main character, Deidre McIntosh, for about the first half of the book but her personality brought a bit of drama to the story and I warmed to her. Very predictable story line and probably a forgettable story, but I enjoyed it enough to want to read more of Mia King’s books.
