Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise by Ruth Reichl
4.0
Spoiler free!
Recommended? Yes!!
I love this book because I felt like I was transported to another world even though that was not the case. Ruth's life as a food critic is so different from my own that I got to experience New York City from a completely new perspective. There was a happy tone during most of the book that was a nice change of pace from some of my other reads. Overall, I found this book to be absolutely fascinating, but I must warn you, reading it will make you hungry!!
