I had heard so many mixed reviews about this book and couldn't wait to read it for myself. It really pleasantly surprised me with how much I loved it. The writing style was much more descriptive than I usually like, but I think this really worked to highlight how the main character's job as a journalist and the absolute fixation she comes to share with her interviewee on food.
