Love, Loss, and What We Ate: A Memoir by Padma Lakshmi

2.0

I listened to this on Audible, and I really wanted to like it more than I ended up liking it. Padma has a very interesting story, and I always feel bad rating memoirs lowly because obvious it’s based on live experience. So it’s a beautiful piece in that regard. However, I did not really enjoy how it was written and parts of it seemed rather wordy to me (at one point she reads about 4 excerpts from a super specific painfully overdone journal of her daughter’s daily activities that she was required to give her ex as part of a custody arrangement?) I also liked the details about food but again, maybe just too much. Really interesting woman and great personality, maybe just not my favorite author
