Delancey: A Man, a Woman, a Restaurant, a Marriage by Molly Wizenberg
2.0
I think I'm somewhere between a 2 and a 3 on this.
It was a nice book that I found totally readable and mildly interesting but it was not great and not a book I'd go out of my way to suggest to someone else. It felt almost like a very long magazine article. It made me want to go eat their pizza but I didn't feel like I learned very much about anything at all and just had the briefest glimpse at everything that went into building the restaurant but not enough to make me feel invested in any of the people or the outcomes.
Still, it's not a bad book. There is nothing about it that irritated me or made me want to stop reading. As the Goodreads 2 star rating actually says "it was OK" so I'm sticking with that. I got this from Amazon on one of their daily deals and it was certainly worth the $1.99 I paid for it but I'm not sure it would be worth full price.
The included recipes might be the best part of the whole thing.
