At times, this book tried to do too much and bordered on saviorism. But there’s no denying it’s an important topic and the writing is super.
4.5 stars rounded down.
This book was really human and really thoughtful and just that perfect balance of journalistic non-fiction that keeps you reading almost like a novel would. The writing is great (i see why she won a James Beard award) and there are no pat answers in this. She acknowledges her own failures and limitations openly which really keeps this from the white saviorism i worried about in the first few pages.
I have thought about this book every day since i finished it.

Paternalistic and voyeuristic to a disturbing and frankly irresponsible degree. The bougie author withholding meals from "the help" as punishment says everything you need to know about her ethos.
