LitPick Review
Slippery Slopes is about a group of friends who are working at the Les Trois, the fabulous ski resort in Europe, where the rich and famous people come to ski and socialize. The main characters, Melissa and Dove, are covering for another friend, Harley, who is on vacation in the Tropics. Melissa is working as the host, greeting and meeting all the famous people that come and stay at the resort. Dove, on the other hand, is working in the kitchen as a chef, preparing all the food at the resort. The biggest party of the year is coming up soon and Melissa is in charge of overseeing all the planning and events for the ball. Dove is in charge with planning a spectacular menu that will live up the other parties in the past. With all the pressure of planning and throwing an equally spectacular ball, as in the past, the girls must somehow find time for their own social life. While working at the resort they meet plenty of people and have many invitations to a lot of the parties, dances and skiing events. To complicate the planning, Melissa has a lot of the ski bums after her, and Dove is trying hard to stay loyal to her boyfriend back home.
Opinion:
I thought the book was so-so. It was hard to stay focused, it skipped around a lot. The author, Emily Franklin, did describe the characters fairly well as she made you feel like you were at the resort with the characters in the story. I felt that the characters sometimes over reacted in some situations that they had to deal with in the story. Overall, the book pretty much held my interest. I would recommend this book to others because it did have a good story line.
