 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
