I really enjoyed the audio book of this. Rabia has such a lovely voice!
It’s important to note that this memoir could be incredibly triggering to those who may be struggling with food or weight. There are many instances of fat phobia and self depreciating talk.
Overall, I really liked the writing style and I felt the descriptions of food and craving were wonderful. I loved the descriptions of her family, and how I learnt a lot about Pakistan through this book.
