wtfff

i don’t remember how this ended up on my want-to-read but i guess i must just truck on at this point.

ohhhhhh what an unexpected twist.

i’m cranky

let’s also not forget how she randomly fell asleep (?!?) during her test at the very beginning and burnt precious strawberries in the resource poor dystopia this book is set in. what kind of chef would be so reckless with their ingredients? strawberries also don’t take much time to cook down and nothing indicated that she was tired either. so bizarre.

why is this so *randomly* dramatic!

how am i supposed to believe this chef is ambitious for ditching school and leaving her homeland to pursue cooking, when she still has to lie on her resume about haute cuisine experience despite having spent time in paris, lyon, etc. getting a job in a restaurant, regardless of accolades, is generally more about tenacity than anything else so her “struggles” are feeling hollow

interesting gone girl-esque absurdist twist happening…

“it struck rika acutely now how true luxury when it came to food demanded determination and energy, even more than it did money”

getting better

whyyy did i pick this for book club >____<“

can my e-reader please stop freezing

i’m loving this

:-(((

can appreciate this is well written but whewww this book is not making me feel good.

knowing that peter murdoch’s character is based on rebecca’s husband is making me cackle, especially upon this page’s moment of weakness.

will this cure the one-sided lovers’ quarrel that i have w/ my so

will she talk about anything else besides being a single, childless woman. yes, we’ve already established that. but now what? and what else?
