I still don't know how to feel about this book. I read it for book club and I'm not a big foodie so the long descriptions of food just really irritated me instead of make me hungry or see them in the narrative. The pacing felt off. The book felt like it was building towards some climax about a third through the book and then suddenly dropped off. We then get the real ending which did not have a build up and was a weird ending that felt out of context. Why does the ending have almost nothing to do with the rest of the book?
I did enjoy the social commentary about women and their bodies. The book opens up a good conversation about how women are seen by each other and themselves. Food is such a personal thing to each individual and I did enjoy how that was written into the story beats.
Overall, kinda disappointed at the end and likely won't read again.
