It’s always a sign of a good author when you feel nostalgic upon finishing a book!The novel begins in the late 80’s with Amy. She is stepping out on her own as a college student in Syracuse, New York and her father leaves her with some advice about the opposite sex. He explains that every man can be categorized as a fork, knife, or spoon. The plot steadily picks up pace as we meet Amy’s roommate Veronica and follow them through their four years at college. A steady stream of boys come into the plot…some turn out to be arrogant forks, some are nerdy yet lovable spoons, and a rare few are dateable knives. I admit that reading this part of the novel made me a bit nostalgic, as I could totally relate to the fashion and music trends that DeCesare references.As the book continues and the years move on, Amy and her friends add more utensils to their list. For example plastic forks…men who are arrogant and fake, always trying to impress to cover their fragile egos. Who of us hasn’t meet a few of those over the years?As I read this book I really became emotionally involved with the characters. I don’t want to give too much away, but I found myself telling one character over and over “You’re better than this!” While reading as fast as I could to find out if another woman would finally tell her boyfriend the truth about her life! When a character from the past returned I gasped out loud, and mentally congratulated DeCesare on her creative plot twists.This book is a wonderful read with a quick moving plot and characters you can’t help but relate too. The ongoing theme of labeling men and trying to find the right one, is something that we all can admit to, and it’s done in a creative and thoroughly enjoyable way.Forks, Knives and Spoons is definitely deserving of all the awards that it has received! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Fun weekend read and trip down memory lane. *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019* This book was the latest pick by my book club. I would compare this book to the literary version of watching reality tv such as the Bachelorette. Fun, lighthearted, easy to enjoy, entertaining drama. While I definitely rolled my eyes a bit, I truly cared about Veronica and Amy. I loved some of the 80’s flashbacks and enjoyed the college memories triggered by this book. It was a fun trip down memory lane to what life was life before kids.Perfect weekend read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgic story of friendship and love *by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2018* FORKS, KNIVES, AND SPOONS by Leah DeCesare is a charming and nostalgic story of friendship, family, love and life during and after college. Set in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the book is full of fun references to the music, movies, fashion and pop culture of the times. I enjoyed the unique and creative concept of the “Utensil Classification System” that was woven through the book. The reader gets to follow two college roommates, Amy and Veronica, from the day they meet at the start of freshman year through graduation and on to their first jobs. We get to see them as they forge strong friendships, fall in and out of love and make crucial life decisions. The characters are perfectly portrayed and very relatable. Though the story is told with wit and humor, there are some important underlying themes, with valuable life lessons learned by all of the characters. I really enjoyed this heartfelt and entertaining book and look forward to reading more from Leah DeCesare. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/41001913-forks-knives-and-spoons-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/41001913-forks-knives-and-spoons-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
