Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession by Julie Powell

1.0

I picked up the book out of curiosity after the post-publication backlash. I thought the subject matter seemed somewhat courageous for an author previous known through print and film as that plucky girl who cooked her way through a Julia Child cookbook in a year. Unfortunately, the more of the read of the book, the less I enjoyed it. It's really painful to read knowing that these are real people making such a mess of their lives. I did finish, but I don't really recommend it.
