arthur a way of [...]summing up a situation so perfectly that you never wanted another spoonful of pesto again

there's something immensely pleasurable about moving from a complicated relationship which involves minor atrocities from both sides to a nice neat simple one where one person has done something so horrible and unforgivable that the other person is immediately absolved of all the low-grade sins

Hilarious and real (in an almost uncomfortable way). Loved the recipes scattered throughout. Really original, witty and well written. I listened and I think Meryl Streep's narration put it into the 5 star category! I'd have to read it on paper to be sure, but I think on its own it's more like 4+ stars. Very good!!
