2.0

What I liked; the deep, passionate explanations of food and its origins (especially genuinely learning more about truffles and kosher butchery). I also can totally get on board with the horniness. I had fun with the verbose, rich linguistics of it which felt fitting for her character. 
What I didn’t like: a protagonist so completely psychopathic that she’s quite dull to spend time with. An increasingly far-fetched series of events and choices that climax with a reveal that, to me, genuinely just doesn’t make sense (

the Dorothy that we have grown to know, who uses fake names and wigs and burner phones and abseils down the side of buildings to avoid getting caught- just wouldn’t throw a receipt in the bin.

) Not a book I enjoyed much really.

How can a book about cannibalism be so beautiful? How did it make me cry? I won't forget this book any time soon.
