Food Person: A Novel by Adam Roberts
4.25
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

This book was the perfect palate cleanser (excuse the pun). This was a fun and quick read. I only had two major qualms. The first being, I think the ending was a bit rushed and predictable. My second more significant qualm, was that essentially every character is a horrible person. I am talking toxic bosses, toxic friendships, and blindingly selfish ambition. 

It was the perfect combination of funny, dramatic, and kept it me on my toes. 

If you love food, messy characters, and are looking for a something little more lighthearted than I highly suggest you check this out.
