I Hear She's a Real Bitch by Jen Agg

funny lighthearted slow-paced

2.25

I found this book really frustrating! Truth be told, I didn’t know who Jen Agg was before reading this - but I did think that reading a book about a trailblazer in the Canadian restaurant scene would be interesting and that I’d learn something. 

 

However, something about the writing here irked me. I found the book quite messy, with no drive or “why” behind most of it. It came across as the author introducing her opinion as a “hot take” and it ending up just being the most mainstream opinion ever. Very “not like other girls”. 

 

Still, I did find it interesting to learn more about the industry, and the parts of Agg’s life she shared in this.
