Care and Feeding: A Memoir
by Laurie Woolever
funny
reflective
slow-paced
A really raw, interesting memoir that at times wavered to self-flagellation and a little too "I'm a monster ah I'm so awful," while somehow also not sounding sincerely guilty about it? Parts of this felt like they didn't fit together or, at least, fell outside the expectation of this being the memoir of a food writer/assistant to famous chefs. I also had to listen to the audiobook on 1.5x speed, and at times up to 2x speed, because she seemed to be speaking so slowly otherwise. But the overall journey is inspirational and this book is seemingly exactly what Woolever wanted to accomplish, and I can't help but be glad for her for that.
