Ii wanted to like this book so much more than I did. I kept cringing for some reason. It felt so contrived, which is funny because I can consume formulaic rom coms just fine. This is unique but everything felt so forced. I liked the Paris culinary history but the excess of it all was grating. I’m so glad others enjoyed this book. I have very much enjoyed the author’s nonfiction books. I think this might have been a very much me problem.
