From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up–In this third installment in the series, Angel, her family, and her friends travel from England to Italy for a glorious vacation. As she watches her pals' budding romances, Angel pines away for Sydney, who planted a kiss on her at the school fashion show. On a different note, her mother is acting particularly strange, and Angel worries that she's having an affair. Not to worry, though–romance and happy endings are granted to all in this modern fairy tale. Character development is great, especially Angel's, whose wit reveals her own, quirky brand of humor, complete with many a pop-culture reference. She is a wonderful, lovable character, as are most of the somewhat eccentric people in her life. These girls are rich, but they're kind to one another and value friendship, unlike the characters in Cecily von Ziegesar's Gossip Girls and Zoey Dean's A-List series (both Little, Brown). This recipe for enjoyment will leave girls hungry for more.–Tracy Karbel, Glenside Public Library District, Glendale Heights, IL

From Booklist
Gr. 6-9. As in Whytock's My Cup Runneth Over 2003) and My Scrumptious Scottish Dumplings (2004),the third book starring Angelica Cookson Potts finds the British schoolgirl struggling with unrequited love, a body inclined to "wobbleability," and humiliating parents--all without losing her appetite. A narrative closely linked to earlier events follows Angelica from end-of-school-year trials to a fabuloso vacation in Italy, which serves as a backdrop for broad comedy, much deriving from cultural differences, and concerns about her mother's marital fidelity. Whytock continues the series' relatively modest additions of spice and droll line artwork, which may open her audience to capable middle-graders. Jennifer Mattson
