The Accidental Alchemist by Gigi Pandian

2.0

A vegan manifesto disguised as a story. It's like those blogs where you have to read through an entire family history to get to the recipe, except backwards. You have to read past the smoothie recipes and vegan food descriptions to get to the story. Which is, at best, a bit of fantasy fluff. I will say the author obviously loves my city because she describes Portland like a true native. The French gargoyle is the only character I liked at all.
