Taste Test by Kelly Fiore Stultz

5.0

Taste Test by Kelly Fiore follows Nora the small town daughter of a BBQ restaurant as she becomes a contestant in the high school cooking reality show Taste Test. The competition isn't the only challenge in Nora's life. She also has to deal with the cocky and wealthy son of a famous chef that's her biggest competition on the show and possibly for her heart and she also has to solve the mystery of who has been sabotaging the competition by causing major accidents in the kitchen.

I loved this book, it has everything that a young teen wants in a romance. It's got a bit of mystery, a romance that burns slowly and a confident heroine who works hard so that she can accomplish her goals. The cooking segments were fun to read and sounded delicious and the reality TV portion although not super realistic added to the fun of the book.



Appropriateness: There's no adult content in this book. The mystery involves contestants being harmed but there's nothing violent or scary. The romance is sweet and fun and consists of nothing more than kissing (if your kid can get past the cover then they'll be fine with the romance). I would recommend this book to readers 11-15
