Butter by Asako Yuzuki
5.0
challenging dark reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book dives into the complex intersection of cooking and eating with sexism and gender roles in the family dynamic, as well as fatphobia. 

The female character's reflection on how food and cooking was in their families growing up and how that influenced their outlook prompts similar reflections myself. 

The description of food was mind boggling and altered how I consume.
