The Ice Cream Theory by Steff Deschenes

Summary (from Goodreads): Steff Deschenes first hatched her ice cream theory when she was sixteen and in the throes of that singular, devastating phenomenon known as first heartbreak. In the midst of her grief, she realized that, in the same way humans have ice-cream preferences, humans have people preferences. Like ice cream flavors, social preferences shift based on age, experience, even mood. There are exotic flavors that one craves when feeling daring, comforting flavors to fall back on, flavors long-enjoyed that eventually wear out their welcome, and those unique flavors that require an acquired taste. Like people, no ice cream flavor is perfect every single time…and it is in this realization that the crux of Deschenes’s theory lies.

My Thoughts: This is a very cute book that has lots of fun stories. But, honestly, it doesn’t hold my interest. At least not when I have four other books to read in the next week. If I had a little more time, I could get through it no problem. It’s not boring or bad to read; it’s just not something that I feel I have to finish. I will finish it once my schedule has settled down a bit, but for now I must put it aside to start something else I’m supposed to finish today.

That said, the stories have made me chuckle and smile. And this book makes me want to eat more ice cream – even when it’s 11˚F outside! LOL I do have to wonder, with the way the author talks about junk food (especially ice cream) how she’s not extremely overweight! LOL (I wish I had her metabolism.)

So, generally, this is an enjoyable, light read. The stories make me smile and sometimes even chuckle a little. I look forward to clearing up my review schedule so I can hunker down and finish this!
