slow-paced
 
"Wow, you really got lucky with this place, huh?" I just smiled and said, "I don't believe in luck." But I heard that all the time - how "lucky" I was, as though it had just happened, an indignity that I'm sure [male cowoker] didn't have to suffer.


But here's the thing - Jen Agg was incredibly lucky. Her first business, a bar she opened up because she thought it would be fun, was a gift from her parents. When this business went under, her boyfriend gave her money and a space to open up her first restaurant.

She was privileged all throughout the book and didn't even see it. No, she describes how hard it was on her.

Also weird was how she managed to write 368 pages with barely any advice about business and/or for restaurateurs.

I was not a happy reader.
