Woof. Don’t like disliking my narrator so much for so long. Glad there’s a touch of justice for her. So weird reading about someone so insecure and unsure of themselves at such a mature age, made me uncomfortable. Nice honest description of motherhood tho, made it sorta worthwhile. 😵💫

Every detail and ingredient is intentional, the guy is funny and cool and very involved in the punk scene and includes a lot of interviews and stories from artists, musicians and other chefs. Loved it 🍫
