Gina rated MY NAME IS DELCIOUS: "it was amazing!"
​
This book is the first one written by author Jan Yoshida, and if this is any indication of what may come, count me in. The story revolves around Ronnie Tamura and her twin Veronica. In the beginning, it is the 1970's, the Age of Aquarius, hippies, making love not war, peace, and everything in between. I was a teen in the 70's and I remember all of that very well.
Ronnie, who lives to create her artwork, has some issues that land her in the office of psychologist Dr. Shon Daniel, who will play an unexpected role in her life. Ronnie is the daughter of an ex-actress narcissistic mother and a loving, quiet, gardening, do-whatever-it-takes to keep the peace father who spends as much time as possible gardening and away from the drama that is his wife. He treats Ronnie quite lovingly; her mom, not so much. Verbal abuse is the norm.
Ronnie gets into a lot of trouble at school which also played a part in her requiring therapy. She falls in love with an older man who introduces her to drugs and partying. And then there's the stint where she decides to become a Playboy Bunny. Oh, and the (even) older and extremely rich man who also claims to love her and lavishes expensive gifts on her and supports her desire to create art.
Always popping in and out of the story is the ever reliable Dr. Shon.
I will say no more due to spoilers, but I will say that if, like me, you get frustrated with Ronnie putting up with her lovers, her mother's abuse, and her twin sister, hang in there - because it all comes together at the end - and what an amazing ending it is.
