Based on actual advice from her father, this debut is is a coming-of-age story with great advice: avoid forks, spoons are dull, and knives are the way to go. Knives are in the middle, they are balanced—not too sharp, not too dull. But they have an edge, so they are sharp when they need to be. Although this is lighthearted with a fun premise, the characters work through some weightier topics and I applaud that. My only criticism, it was too long.
