I'm not sure about this book so far. Maybe it's just that I'm getting ~old~, but I'm having major issues with the main character. The story tries to jump in in the middle, but the lack of any buildup means that all action and romance feels false, as I was never given a reason to care for the characters. Kind of disappointing, as I'd read a lot of great reviews of this.

As of yet, I'm still in the introductory section, but I might skip to the recipes pretty quickly. Reading through the lens of someone with a food allergy, their recommendations on what counts as "good" and "wholesome" food come across condescending. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but we live in a world where food allergies are considerable more common, so if nothing else it was incredibly naive/thoughtless.

I'm not very far in, but STRUGGLING with this book so far. About ready to start counting every time the author uses "I," though I think I'd never finish reading the thing. The beginning is almost excruciatingly slow, yet somehow contains almost no exposition. I'll probably slog though it, but it's def going to be a slog.

I started this book yesterday, and don't say this lightly: if you spend any time with children, you need to read this book.
