Gluten Is My Bitch: Rants, Recipes, and Ridiculousness for the Gluten-Free by April Peveteaux
5.0
Never have I felt so seen by a book in all my days. I have a vastly different experience with gluten than the author, but she still managed to sum up all my experiences on the page, from the horrible to the funny to the joyous. I won’t deny that she has a privileged viewpoint, but she is very aware of that privilege so it doesn’t come across as too preachy. (Plus, I live a similar lifestyle so if anything that made it easier for me personally to relate.)
As a gluten intolerant person, I can safely say that the most difficult thing about the disorder is lack of empathy/understanding from the gluten tolerant. My own family regularly taunts me or gets offended when I stand up for myself at meals. So having access to book that not only gets that, but is also funny and informative, is ineffably valuable. I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone on the gluten-free spectrum.
