Although I ended up loving the book, I would have greatly appreciated a trigger warning. It would be highly inappropriate of the author to have included such a detailed traumatic event without having experienced it herself, but I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. I enjoyed the arc of the plot, even though it is predictable. The way Reichl describes food is fun!
