Loved this book!! It was written in an interesting format where you are learning about the main character through the stories of other people. From birth to adult you get to see how different interactions impacted the character and made her into the person she is. Cute narratives and engaging plot.

Meh . . . I really only enjoyed about 50 pages near the end of the book. The tone of the rest of the book just wasn't for me. It felt too harsh and edgy, neither of which I particularly enjoy. However, I did find the food portions of the book enjoyable, and I also rooted for Eva. It was great to see her succeed in the end. Read if you enjoy: foodie books, interlocking short stories, edgy tone, characters who triumph over challenging circumstances
