Overall Rating

The Waitress By Melissa Nathan

In a London caf , waitress Katie Simmmonds goes on a date with Dan Crichton when his previous girlfriend Geraldine pulls off a stunt that sends the commitment-phobic woman running. However, she is unable to hide from Dan when he becomes her next boss and is not sure she wants too. However, her mixed emotions do not matter as Dandy Dan is back with Geraldine.

Meanwhile the stud from Katie's longest relationship, a mind boggling almost a year Hugh is back and wants her though he spent four years with Maxine the pencil. Adding to Katie's confusion is that Dan though engaged to Geraldine seems to want her instead. Confused Katie is attracted to both men, but fears either one will demand more from her than she can give.

THE WAITRESS is an amusing chick lit tale that stars real people in real situations. The story line focuses on kissable Katie's crazy antics to elude commitment while Hugh seems to want her back in his life and Dan is confused and doesn't know who he really wants. Melissa Nathan writes a warm, very humorous yet deep character study that will have her audience laughing at the antics of the heroine and her cohorts while also empathizing with Katie's fears of relationships.
