A review by kdhanda
Bitter in the Mouth by Monique Truong

3.0

I really wanted to like this book. It was funny, smart, derisive and wry. The writing, in parts, is excellent. However, it left me dizzy as the book went back and forth in time without a link. I was rattled by her usage of the food tastes in the middle of sentences. This really got on to my nerves until I was skipping sentences entirely. Good read about family dysfunction in the South but do not expect too much.
