challenging emotional funny informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

 This book makes me hungry. It also makes me wish I would've grown up eating not only more diverse foods but also eating healthier foods and learning how to cook. It's wild how even though our lives, families, and cultures are so different we have things in common like enjoying junk food and not being taught how to cook and finding it hard to work out and eat right when there's so much stress and so much going on.

I appreciate that even though she did end the book thinner, it wasn't an unhealthy or preachy kind of thinner. She finally found what made her happy and feel empowered and in control with the caveat that everyone is different and we all want to improve no matter where we're at. I also just really enjoyed learning so much about Pakistani culture and food.

Also how wild that she knows Shaun T?? Why is that something that stood out so vividly to me 😅😂
