The main Character is the most unhinged and entertaining villain. Side note: the audiobook narration is sooooo good.

Enjoyed the story, but could have done without the constant time hopping (or maybe longer spurts of time hopping). It made it feel very fragmented and choppy. I get why it was done like this - it creates a sort of puzzle you need to piece together, but I think it just leaves you confused at the end.

This book made me nauseous with it's vivid descriptions and constant digestive issues. I can't figure out if I enjoyed that or hated it. Either way it was a strong feeling.

I may be biased, because I love all things Julia Child, but I really enjoyed this book. I love hearing Julia tell her story - her voice is so present, it feels like you can hear her unmistakable expressions. I also love how romantic her life in France felt, but not in a pretentious, or unimaginable way. I also liked hearing about her strained relationship with her father - the way she grieved him and their relationship. Her love for Paul and vice versa was also so heart warming. I would read this book more then once just to feel the story all over again. The end made me cry. I love you Julia!
