I really enjoyed this memoir from Stanley Tucci! I did find that there were some off-handed comments that came across to me as inappropriate but maybe just trying too hard to be relatable? I'm excited to try some of the recipes throughout the book, and I think the descriptions of the restaurant experiences and Italian-American culture and cuisine was fun to read about. Overall I would recommend, but see content warnings for further info! I think the topics were handled with grace and not dwelled on to the point of causing distress, but I also don't feel triggered from the topics.
