I struggled a bit with the format and all the characters, but overall loved it. Recommended for readers who:
- are foodies+++ (don’t go in on an empty stomach)
- enjoy a series of interconnected people and stories

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. 

Want to find other books like this one!
