As someone who grew up in San Francisco, this story perfectly touched on the tech industry and the foodie scene here and it is clear that Sloan has spent a lot of time in the Bay. Was this book life changing? definitely not but it was a fun quick read that had quirky and enjoyable characters. My only gripe as a bread baker myself is the oversimplification of baking sourdough but I was able to overlook it. If you're not from the Bay I can see this book being underwhelming for some people as part of the story's charm is the little references to Bay Area culture.
