Great writing and really tough to read - especially with regards to bullying. Like damn, those kids were going through it. Wouldn't recommend per se, but I can see why people like it.

Good short read but honestly didn't take much from it. Also, didn't help that I hadn't known who the author was before reading this book.

While i expected stories of her life through food, i got the story of her life featuring food. I don't know if you understand the difference, but if you do, good.
