berenjena 's review for:

In the Kitchen by Monica Ali
4.0

It was an inbetween of a really difficult to read book and an amazing masterpiece. I don’t know where to start. Especially in the beginning, it was impossible to read it but at the same time impossible to put down. It took ages until I started understanding the story, and when I finally understood where it was going, everything was so well connected that it was impossible to explain the line in a fast, simple way to my friends.
As a wrap-up, it’s a beautifully written book that you’ll love once you managed to get through the first 100 pages, either you love it or you hate it; and all the characters - especially Gabe - are exquisitely round and always changing.
