Wow. It's objectively horrifying and yet absolutely fantastic. You're hooked almost immediately and stay there throughout. Good and interestin ending, great reveaks and surprises. Shocking at times, hilarious, and relatable too. 

The only thing that was a bit irritating was coming across a word every other page that I had to underline and look up. And I feel like I have a pretty decent vocab. So prepare for that--but it seems also to be purposeful in its parody of extravagant food writers.

I'm a little ashamed at how many times I laughed and how many times I was turned on. Gruesome but infatuating.

4.0

A wet, gross, luxurious novel. I went into this knowing only that she was a food critic so I was, uh, surprised! But it was gloriously written and executed, it was so pretentious but in a way that keeps you invested just to see what’s coming to her. It was a bit meandering but in the whole I found this to be really fun in a “good for her” kind of way.
