There are three kinds of guys: forks, knives, and spoons. That is the final lesson that Amy Yorks father sends her off to college with, never suspecting just how far his daughter will take it. Clinging to the Utensil Classification System as her guide, Amy tries to convince her skeptical roommate, Veronica Warren, of its usefulness as they navigate the heartbreaks and soul mates of college and beyond. Beginning in 1988, their freshman year at Syracuse University, Amy and Veronica meet an assortment of guysfrom slotted spoons and shrimp forks to butter knives and sporksall while trying to learn if the UCS holds true. On the quest to find their perfect steak knives, they learn to believe in themselvesand not to settle in love or life.

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.

From the beginning, Forks, Knives, and Spoons is a wonderfully nostalgic walk down memory lane! A charming story of Amy heading off to college armed with the words of wisdom from her father. The down to earth journey of roommates who become best friends, the dreams they share, and the boys they fall for will keep you turning the pages! This book was so much fun to read and took me right back to the late nights of dorm life.

One book resolution I‘ve been trying to stick to this year is bailing on books that just aren‘t grabbing me without feeling guilty about it. There‘s just too many good books to read and not enough time. I only made it 17% into this book, but I really had a hard time following the format in which the story was written, and by default getting a feel for any of the main characters. I loved the forks, knives, spoons premise, but it got old quickly.

I liked how it was set in the past and not modern day. Some twists were predictable, but I didn‘t mind. Personally I think this is good for filler if you‘re in between books but I don‘t see myself picking this up again.

I am not a rom-com kinda girl but I binged read this one. It‘s full of twists and turns and gives you that feeling of nostalgia with your different kind of relationships. I would definitely recommend!! Check it out!
